How to cook Yabby?

What is a Yabby or a Yabbie - a crayfish from fresh water.

Cooked Yabbies (sorry I already cooked before taking photos)

Yabby Recipe:
What I'm going to share with you today is my recipe version of Yabbies. The taste of Yabbies are similar to Prawn although Yabbies are not stronger taste than Prawns for those who haven't tasted them yet. These Yabbies we bought and brought them from Talbot Farmer's Market in 2008 during their Yabbie's Festival. I think this is an annual event so you have the chance to go there and look for yourself if you live in Victoria. How I cooked to make it yummy is to use Tom Yum paste or any similar from scratch if you want. My measurements of the ingredients are only a guide depending on the weight or pieces of your Yabbies to cook.

Faith

Faith can conquer every obstacle!

"Get into the boat!" Thou didst whisper.

At first how I feared to obey;

I looked not at Thee, but the storm clouds,

The darkness, the waves and the spray.

But then came the words, "Will you trust Him?"

Will you claim and receive at His hand

All His definite fullness of blessing?

Launch out @ thy Master's command!?

Thou art willing, my Lord, could I doubt Thee?

Hast Thou ever proved untrue?

Nay! out at Thy word I have ventured,

I have trusted. Thy part is to do.

~ L.A.B-S ~

Build a bridge out of the storms, and go to Him!

"And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased."

~ Matthew 14:22 ~
