Gelare & Crabbing (Perth, Australia D14)

The day was pretty relaxed. I went out for a church service and lunch with my friends.

After that, I visited Gelare for waffles with my aunt and my mom. It was soooo good! The waffles are crispy and it went well with the whipped cream and syrup that was served together.

It was a simple yet lovely day. And evening came by and got more interesting.
The fam bam decided to go crabbing! Together with my aunt, uncle and cousin. We gathered all the equipments, got dressed and off we went!

Myself in action! I caught a number of crabs! Also got pinched on the feet a few times, but it was well worth it. We found tiny crabs as well (not allowed to catch any of those though) and accidentally had a puffer fish caught in our nets. It puffed up and we couldn’t get it out! Left the net in the water for quite some time and it still didn’t relax. Felt so guilty but we had to use something else to push him out. Good thing the poor fello was able to swim properly still! Mom and I. She enjoyed herself so much she kept saying she has to come again before we leave Perth. I enjoyed myself a lot as well.
The best part of the whole experience was that we get to bring the crabs home! There are rules for this where the crabs have to be of a certain size, and you can only bring the males and some females (with no eggs) home. The pregnant females are left alone to replenish the sea. heh.

Saltwater crabs. Extremely fresh and super tasty! All we did was steam it. No seasoning at all and it turned out great! Yum! I’d definitely love to go crabbing again some day. If you ever have the chance, go for it!
