MUD CRABS
All the Mud Crabs supplied by Cairns Ocean Products are sourced locally - along the tropical coast from Cardwell to The Culf. A major area for the Mud Crabs is Princess Charlotte Bay. We also have a fisherman in The Trinity Inlet in Cairns every day.

It is illegal in Queensland to catch or sell female Mud Crabs, so all our stock are therefore male.

Mud Crabs are traditionally in shorter supply during the Tropical Wet Season when we have higher tides, allowing the crabs to move higher into the mangroves along the coast. The crabs become plentiful after the Wet Season from March onwards. They are available live, fresh cooked or frozen cooked.

TROPICAL PAINTED CRAYFISH
Unlike their southern cousins, our locally caught crays are vegetarian.  Their diet gives them a unique flavour favoured in Asian cooking.
