Fiji Lobsters & Crabs

One would expect to find fresh seafood in Fiji, it being an island(s) Republic and we spotted some offered for sale on a roadside stall displayed on a makeshift table as we drove along one of the main roads in Nadi, Fiji.

There were fresh lobsters and crabs for sale and some are of the types that I’ve never seen before. They don’t sell them by weight or by pieces but rather by ‘bunches’; so you’ve got to choose which of the bunched up lobsters or crabs that you like and start bargaining with the seller.

We didn’t buy any as we’d crabs just the night before. In hindsight it was a bad decision; as not buying these beauties still haunt me till today!

Wow!!! The lobsters look so big and I’ve never ever seen those kind of crabs. Must be really cheap during sale, right? How much is it a bunch? Ah.. too bad, that you didn’t buy it.

ipohchai - they look toy-like don’t they?

Wuching - haha! me too.

Selba - They’re not as cheap as we thought; about F$100/- a bunch before bargaining.
