Oh, I don't know. I could slip some in an envelope and send it over ;-P

Having just got back from Sydney, one of the things I did whilst there
was to go to the 'famous' Sydney Fish Markets.

http://www.sydneyfishmarket.com.au/

If anyone ever goes there, don't eat at the Fish Market Cafe. $18 for 2
pieces of beer battered fish (Barra and Deep Sea Perch) was a bit much!!
Especially when they had 1/2 a lobster mornay with chips and salad for
$15.90!!

We got our seafood from DeCosti's.

A side of Barra, 1/2kg of Scallops (no shells), a slab of Sashimi(?)
quality Tuna, 3 Bugs, and 1&1/2 kgs of green Prawns.

I ended up showing those damn furiners down there how to cook green
prawns... they thought it was the ducks guts!! LOL!!

1/2 were done plain in salted water, and chilled in the fridge
afterwards, and the other 1/2 was done as garlic prawns as an entree
with scallops that had been marinated in Sesame oil, a finely chopped
(and deseeded) small red chilli, and some lime zest..... and then pan
seared in a red hot frypan.

That, along with numerous bottles of imported Belgium and German beer,
after a long day of walking and shopping, *was* the ducks guts :-)
