Mantas 3 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I've had seafood marinaded in citrus juices and such, but raw, plain old crack it out the shell and start chewing???? Come on. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 One word for ya, Mantas, old mate, one word! S U S H I and S A S H I M I Found a really nice Sushi restaurant in Nozawa and got in there about 3 times during our 10 days. Gotta love it! Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I can handle that stuff, but raw shell fish? Surely they do something to it first. Even cave men cooked there meat. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Mantas, lobster and crab straight outta the shell, try it, you'll love it. Indo and JA have what it takes. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Fresh oysters, straight from the shell (taken from a clean waterway like at Brunswick Heads, not from the poisoned waters of Syd Harb) are sooo much nicer than anything you can do to cook them! What's yer problem with fresh shellfish? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Oysters.... yum.... Coffin Bay from Aus. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Alright alright I'll try it next time. I agree with the oysters JA, it's just the lobster and crab I struggle with. Link to post Share on other sites

You get them over there? $8 a doz... Bet they cost a tad bit more! Streaky bay oysters are bloody good, same coast as coffin, but not as famous. We get plenty of the River oysters up here from the richmond river, like them but prefer the Southern ocean variatal! Mantas, Crays straight outta the shell is bloody nice. Better to chill and have with kikkoman and wasa.. Wet dreams are made of that! Link to post Share on other sites
ssar 0 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Originally Posted By: thursday I dunno, I can eat a lot of lobsters. Same. Whilst I have almost had my fair share of good seafood years ago, these days it's relatively rare. Will love to check out such places for the lobsters, crays, crabs, fish, etc. someday. If I were to move to such a place with very plentiful lobsters, it would take a LOT of them over an extended period for me to give credence to the statement: "more a man can eat". Mmmm.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 North West Australia is the best bit of the country!! Absolutely beautiful up there, The Kimberleys, the Bungle-Bungles, Question Mark Hill, Mitchell river, Mitchell falls...man I could go on and on!! Sure the crocs in the rivers are something to be wary about but we swam in plenty of fresh rivers that were croc free (or at least we survived them ) Deffo my fave area in Oz Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Sounds like we should maybe invade it then! After tea and sandwiches. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 No, you should have left all the convicts in England and set sail yourselves. Tubs, most people don't realize that under the water is a marine system far more spectacular and diverse than the Great Barrier Reef. Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Try living in Adelaide this last week and you will know the real meaning of HOT! Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yes I heard it was boiling up. Does it add the humidity as well like here in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 rach normally heatwaves in SE Australia are caused by the winds coming out of the central deserts. The air is generally very dry but with temps up into the mid '40's it's not even remotely comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Humidity?? NADA! Walk outside right into a hot hair dryer air and all the water in ya body gets sucked out! Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 From today, it's cooled a tad from the last few days. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah when i was in Adelaide, the 1st day of my work in a factory it was 50 degrees on the factory floor. The management came out and told us that as it was so hot if we wanted to go home we could, I stayed as I happened to be working in an air-conned room and I needed the money, so they brought out a huge bag of coins for the drinks machine and told us to drink whenever we felt like it and to take as many breaks as we needed...it was hot!! (I had to venture out of my air-con bubble every so often feeding the machines on the floor Link to post Share on other sites
gareth_oau 2 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Perth's hottest day on record was 46.7 and i remember playing 9 holes of golf! (funny though it was very quiet on the course- took me less than 90 mins for the 9 holes!) Perth is typically a very dry heat, (less than 10% humidity) so as long as you're in the shade its bearable, but when you go in the sun, you can feel/see your skin blistering before your eyes I have noticed we tend to get more humidity these days then we used to , I hope is not an increasing trend Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks. I don't know which is worse - the heat+humidity or that dry extreme heat. They both sound awful to me! Link to post Share on other sites
