Yabbies and Pippies

I escaped the rain of the Gold Coast and joined Smee in Sydney for the weekend. It was a 28 degree day, thus a trip to the fish market was deemed compulsory. We indulged in sashimi, prawns and Moreton Bay bugs for lunch by which I, who has been accused of blogging EVERYTHING, surprisingly did not photograph. :P
Then for dinner it was yabbies and pippies! Yum yum! Here are some photos of our dinner preparation.


Smee holding two of his beloved yabbies, Y1 and Y2.


Yabby posing nicely for the camera. Isn't he pretty?


The yabbies and pippies taking a bath together.

Now, some before and after shots:


Pippies happily soaking in the tub.


Pippies happily soaking up XO sauce.


Team Yabby on the stove. Team Smee photographing.


Team Smee made Team Yabby sleepy by putting them in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

Yabbies in garlic butter. Team Smee 1, Team Yabby 0.
