Looks fun! Here is a fave of mine here is St. Louis. Been going here for
years and years. I usually go during the summer months for really decent
summer fruits and veggies. It's a short drive from our house and we
usually go on Saturday mornings.

Here is another place we go maybe once a month.

Looks first-rate! Live chickens even!??

The clickable floor map is essential for big markets like those. Too bad more
vendors haven't done webpages for their booths.

Hmmm. I'll have a few dozen or so of those yabbies, but they're very
small. Give me a good large crayfish anyday, though I did enjoy the
smallish marron I had in Western Australia.

Meanwhile, here is a pic of the crayfish (lobster) my husband bought
for my birthday dinner. For reference size, the plate is 15 inches
long. Now we've had this discussion (rec.fooc.cooking) before on
crayfish versus crawfish, so here's a crayfish -- seawater, packhouse
crayfish.

I'll take them both - anytime, anywhere.

But just out of curiosity, how did you eat the green lip mussels? And
the other mussels ... what kind of mussels were they and how did you
eat them?

Don't get me wrong. I love crayfish and don't get them often enough.
But once you've tasted Atlantic lobster from somewhere cold - like
Britain or the Northeast Coast of the USA like New England, you know
you're in food lover's heaven. But maybe that's because I've only ever
eaten North Island crayfish and never had any from the colder waters
off the South Island.

(BTW - I've had lobster from the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica and
also from Hawai'i and even though I would never, ever turn one down,
IMO it's the cold water that makes all the difference between a good
lobster and a heavenly lobster.)

Marron, Redclaw, Yabbies......... same same, but different.

I haven't had a yabby since I was about 6 years old, so I'll let you
know what they're like :-)

It's a pity the only good part is in the [censored] end.

I've had a few mates and a few non-mates that have earned the knicknames
"Lobster", "Prawn", "Crayfish".

*Always* because they had a body full of meat and a head full of [censored].

One reason that the 'Banks' are on my to do list.

I'd like to be a 'Newfie' for awhile, and taste the local stuff :-)

How? With a fork. I wasn't impressed by the green lips. They were
flat and had other qualities I didn't like (it's been so long, I've
forgotten), not sweet & tasty, and didn't merit spending the extra
money again. As for cooking, I like to taste the meat so I don't get
too fancy, my favorite way is to steam with a little wine & garlic and
eat (sometimes opened on the Q like oysters or in a very simple pasta
dish) with french bread and salad on the side.

BTW: I buy fresh, never frozen. One experience with frozen was
enough for me.

As far as which mussel I like... it's just labeled "mussel", nothing
fancy. It's black on the outside with a purple inside shell. The
cheap one.... California Mussel, Sea Mussel, Black Mussel, Blue
Mussel? Not even the places that grow them put a name on them.
http://tomalesbayoysters.com/products.html

Or... maybe it's a Bay Mussel. The shell is fairly smooth

Nice, but you don't eat the head part do you? So, what would you say
the tail portion (the part that's shipped here to the US) weighed - a
pound?

I've noticed that Aussies love to show off their prawns with head
on... impressive - but I don't eat the heads, so I buy my prawns
headless.

Bob... they are two different animals. Personally, I don't like the
stringyness of Atlantic/Main lobster and especially don't like digging
around for a tiny bite of meat with an itty bitty fork and I'm not
impressed by that tiny bit of claw meat either. Give me a tail from
one of Kathy in NZ's crayfish and I'm in hog heaven.
