Mud Crab
Available wild-caught (though research into aquaculture is ongoing), these are marine and estuarine coastal dwellers that can tolerate low salinity for extended periods, preferring shallow water with a muddy bottom in mangroves, sheltered estuaries and tidal flats (though females with eggs are often found well offshore). Found around most of the Australian coast from NSW north around to Shark Bay, WA; most of the commercial catch is from Queensland and NT, with some also from NSW. Caught in pots, drop nets and dillies. Giant Mud Crab is far more common in Australia than Orange Mud Crab.
To Store
Live Crabs should be consumed as soon as possible after purchase. Place in a container, cover with damp paper or cloth and keep in the warmest part of the refrigerator, which is usually the crisper (optimum 5°C). Once cooked, wrap in plastic wrap or foil and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day,, or freeze for up to 3 months below 18ºC. Picked crabmeat can be stored in the same way.
To Cook
prepare them either steamed and marinated or deep fried salt and pepper style- a messy dinner but these crabs will make it worthwhile. Steam and eat the Australian mud crab fresh and healthy with a squeeze of lemon for the health conscious.
