mixed seafood grill

The work portion of my trip has ended and the vacation part is in full swing. But the seafood theme continues.My parents and I are now up in Cairns, Australia, and yesterday accomplished a lifelong goal of scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef.How amazing that we can swim along as part of that bustling underwater world!Our favorite find was a giant clam would snap shut when anything got near its mouth.

We were so in awe of the ocean; as much local seafood as possible was the obvious choice for dinner.We split the mixed seafood grill from The Raw Prawn, which included (pictured from left to right)calamari,prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, and barramundi.The bugs, though not the most appetizingly named, were my favorite.Theyre like lobster, but creamier.Today is our last day before heading home.
