AT RESTThe same thing happened to lamb shanks, wait till the trend setters get onto lambs fry.A Moreton Bay Bug trumps a crayfish every time , once they they were as cheap as chips until people woke up that they were not that ugly .

AT RESTi would love to get on to some yabbies, sadly I don't know any spots these days or friendly dam owners. PPl in the know keep it a secret to the grave.

The guy from Tassie must have a short memory.......... during the bird flu saga boats got permission to sell directly to the public from the wharf (at least in Hobart).
From memory the price was around $12 / kg. I was at a tri-state meeting at Melb airport while my Tasmanian counterpart was organising it with the Tas Minister's office.
As I said, if you're catching you need a price way north of $30. If not it's a question of which runs out first....... the fun or the money.

SubscriberOur house dam was at the end of a channel so used to be full of yabbies - as in, you’d catch buckets of them - but since the pipes were put in place the dams are dry or have been filled in. I honestly don’t know where you’d get them now.

SupporterI am not a massive fan of yabbies as I find them a bit "Muddy" tasting and bloody fiddly little buggers to peel, Cherabin on the other hand are great to eat and fairly easy to peel.

I was The Australian Yabby Company , know a bit about them. It's no secret really.
Most farmers have yabbies in their dam and will often sell you them, but once they know there's money in them they try to cash in.
It is very easy to catch yabbies from known areas and easy to purge them clean.
I still have my internal system that can produce 5kg /wk.
There are several Redclaw growers in Qld who I would purchase from if I needed extra stock.
The industry is tiny , the market is huge , local and international , and the govt's wont give you any assistance to expand a potential multi million dollar business.

In a certain State, that has promoted aquaculture relentlessly while closing sustainable wild fisheries, the 'responsible' food safety body used to classify EACH dam that was used for growing yabbies commercially as a separate aquaculture facility, with the full armada of registration and compliance costs for each one.
No wonder growing yabbies went nowhere back then. Dunno if things have changed.
