big as bananas = baby crocs
Yes, they were big prawns. I had family visiting us in Darwin during a Xmas spell. They came from Southern NSW where me and 'true love' originated from. Prawns down there are generally the size of a thumb. A young bloke took a pic of a prawn from Northern Territory against a coke can. The prawn was bigger by a long shot. Wish I still had the pic but sadly lost a lot in the bushfires.
Speaking of crocs we had croc kebabs that xmas meal along with a meter long barramundi and huge crabs. 1 crab. 1 plate.
In saying that I had a mate who flew up some boxes of 'Coffin Bay" oysters from way down South Australia. The flesh would fill the palm of your hand. Have visited Coffin Bay, lovely place.
Sadly I was in the super market the other day and saw a Dozen oysters for Aus 16 bucks. The flesh was the size of a dime. I love my seafood but would rather go without at that price.
Happily if COVID restrictions are lifted for travelling interstate I'll be down South Australia - November in 'Hutch662' stomping grounds and he will be taking me crabbing for those great 'blue' crabs. Bit of luck he might take me 'snapper' fishing. Fingers crossed.
Cheers for replying,
