Yeah!! Yabbies rock! Used to net the dams on my uncles property as a kid and we'd cook up hundreds in an old copper washer in the shed, pour them onto potato sacks and have the everyone from miles around (small country town) come over for beer and yabbies. One of my fave memories as a child.
Good luck with the latest crop.
P.S. over here in the U.S. all they have are shrimp, No where near as good as the Aussie Yabby!!!!
Can't wait to get back home....
