The kids knew they were in for a treat on Day 5 today when our guest house host Sameer suggested we go out crab hunting at the mangrove swamp just two minutes from our house. Matt and I being the delicate flowers we are preferred to stay on the swamp banks and not feed the mosquitoes, but the kids for sure had a blast! As did also the wife who found a fellow nature lover in Sameer.
Our catch after an hour was six medium sized critters. The party headed out again at dusk for round two, just so. Sameer quipped that those of us who don’t catch any will not have any for dinner. I think he meant that our ang mo bud and I would have to dine on club sandwiches tonight instead haha!
The final haul for the day was a bucket full of crabs: just over a dozen crustaceans I reckon. Sameer had them cooked chili crab styled and we settled in for a tasty and sumptuous chili crab dinner! And yep – both Matt and I were allowed to partake too.:)
