Brisbane Seafood

Several types of seafood are popular in Brisbane - oysters, barramundi, and "bugs". First, bugs... Bugs are the critters lying on the ice in the center of the photo. They look like flattened lobsters without claws. Oysters are in the sack at middle top. The fish on the far left just past the flounder is a barramndi.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of bugs and barramundi although both are OK. The bugs taste like lobster, but don't have as good a texture in my opinion. They have lobsters here, so I don't know why the bugs seem to be the first choice. Barramundi is a nice white fish, but again with the texture, and I don't think it is always super fresh. But the oysters are very, very good.
