I too remember trying to catch yabbies in dams and rivers as a child. I was always petrified of their claws! Who wouldn't rather support Australian yabby farmers instead of foreign prawn farmers? People need to ask their fishmonger about yabbies in order to encourage them to stock them.

When we were kids we'd catch yabbies in the Margaret River, WA, straight out of the river and into the camp oven...yum!
Coming from NZ we used to (illegally) and very naughtily, catch kura (freshwater crays) in our Chrissie hols dangling pieces of string with meat tied on the end into the lake at the end of the jetty. Illegally because only the Maori were legally entitled to catch them -- so we had to watch out for the ranger.
After your fantastic talk on Tuesday night at the Tilbury at @GreenUps - and now this great advice on eating local seafood - I'm greening my Christmas! Yabbies it is! (with Summer Pudding Trifle to follow) ... Thanks Carli @frombecca

Simply insert the thermometer into the centre of the thickest part of the beef (avoiding the bone, fat and gristle), it will be cooked to rare when it is 50°C, medium-rare will be 55°C, medium is a little over 60°C.
