Ranger 48 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Advertised in my fishmonger 2 days ago for $78 per kilo! :ohmy: I'll have yabbies and prawns instead thanks!The Chinese can enjoy their sewerage pit prawns filled with iodine, and we can keep our crays here.........easy, although I'm sure there's still a huge worldwide export market for Australian seafood!
