Pond to Plate ...
For some reason, we don't eat many of the fish, maybe because they are only caught every 9 months.
There are a number of the ponds at the Farm and they are harvested for Prawns every 3 months so, every
week or two there is a catch going on somewhere.
Prawns ... I get to enjoy every week or two.
Below was a good catch ...
Prawns dancing in the net.
We were up before the sun and this is about the 20th net we've hauled in, the second last one on the Pond.
This was the last haul of the morning. We always start and finish @ the Salsa (right of photo).
From there they are washed and iced and onto the back of the truck in big blue Barrels
and, by 7am at the wholesale Prawn Market, about 25 mins away.
There a video of them sorting and grading overleaf.
But, not all of them make it into those blue Barrels. Some are given to those who helped
in the Harvest as part payment. Some are whisked away to be consumed at the Farm.
^ This is how I love them.
^ For variety, sometimes with a Salad and a little Mayo ... or just with a sauce of some sort and Rice.

We also sometimes grow the larger Blue Claw Prawn, and they are below ...
