The story of Ronnie & Reggie Cray(fish).

Following on from our sea trip, we were sent on our way with two crayfish and filleted sea perch. We were told the best way to dispatch our feisty companions was to put them in a bucket of fresh water for 10 minutes (oxygen deficient). Now, I have to say, we both began to question what right we had to bring these beautiful creatures to the end of their lives. Is this how they anticipated their lives would end after living happily for 10 years in the South Pacific, who were we to serve them their fate, are we Gods? After this short contemplation, I had an apparition - boil for 7 minutes & serve with garlic butter accompanied by a fine Montana Sauvignon Blanc.

By the way, Kaikoura is Maori for Crayfish derived from the longer name "Te Ahi Kaikoura Tama ki te Raki" - lit: the fire that cooked the crayfish of Tamti te Raki.
