Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

man my mouths watering, my rellies up in Kal go yabbying a lot up there on places they have had access to for a long time, they always get a good feed. They cook them in the water they catch them in, tastes awesome.

Yea grew up on yabbies cooked in the dam water, we just added some salt to the water.

Another great technique is to steam them using lemonade, adds a sweet texture and tastes fabulous.

Did you go searching for breeders again Charlie... Damn big yabbies there mate..

The breeder wont come out with me anymore after you pointed that out last time..

Naa, these ones are from home. The bigger ones are left over from a trial/experiment I had running to develope bigger claws (the best meat) and the smaller ones were mostly "yabbie ball" trademark test pilots.

Oh what happen to yabbie balls charlie? I have been away and aquaponics got neglected

Hi Zman.

I havnt perfected them yet and Im about to give up.

lol can i get some free samples?

Ha ha, that would be like getting a free hat out of EB!

See what I can do zman

Well if they are reasonably priced, I will pay for them. I will trial them for you.

Same here with the salt, hell maybe you been yabbying with the inlaws lol.

Was the balls your idea of growing them in the ft?

I'm new to Aquaponics and have throughly enjoyed reading and watching this thread grow! Move into the new place early January so its a waiting game until then. Just need to source IBC's in Perth. Hope it all goes well with the move Charlie...... I'm staying with the inlaws -.-

My first post :p

Thanks 3lmatto.

I hope to see a thread of your own sometime soon.

very cool set up you got charlie..
hopefully mine will be like that someday same with the yabbies there still going strong not as big tho maybe i'll catch up to ya.... very interesting thread.

cant wait for these yabbie balls! oh and to eat the yabbies too

You'd better get there quick then...

My missus made an interesting point the other night, she said why dont you call the yabbie balls a yab-cab. I think I like it better?

Over the weekend I became the proud owner of 60-ish brand new baby yabbies. All babies and mother doing well...
