Full moon mud crab!

Next Mud Crab Event -  Monday 20th September 2010

Come and join us to celebrate the legend of the full moon mud crab harvest at Pearl restaurant!

Legend has it that crab harvesting in the north of Australia and South East Asia was done according
to the phases of the moon.

So canny crab gatherers know that the best time to harvest the crabs, when they are full of meat and
clean tasting, is on the waxing gibbous (two to three days before the full moon).

Which means the perfect time to indulge in mud crab is on the full moon…
