    The pueruli grow to become juvenile rock lobsters through a series of moults. These juveniles feed and grow on the shallow onshore reefs for the next three or four years.
    At this point, the lobsters undergo a synchronised moult in late spring. They change their normal red shell colour to a creamy-white/pale pink. The lobsters are then known as ‘whites’, until they return to their normal red colour at the next moult a few months later. The whites’ phase is a migratory phase. Once their new lighter-coloured shell has hardened, they set out on a two-pronged migration. Most head west and undergo a mass migration into deeper water, where they resettle on deeper reefs. A small percentage makes a longer migration to the north, usually following the continental shelf. In large groups, the lobsters trek at night, until they reach the spawning grounds, occasionally a hundred or more kilometres away from where they started and in water up to 100 m deep. 

    Its just a early stage in the season, these have been feeding in the sandy seaweed closed to shore. Good anyway they are cooked and eaten ! Merry Xmas folks.

    Its interesting that you call them a lobster...why are they not a cray. Thought a lobby had claws and a cray has feelers...

    In Tassie our crays are now known by their correct name as rock lobsters for the export market but still referred to locally as crays or sometimes lobsters. Apparently our only true cray is the freshwater crayfish.

    No not IMO, being frozen and thawed does. Jumbo's more firm flesh but still tasty.

    I bought a barrel, supposed to be a charred aging barrel, but it has a bladder, like a cask, they said I'll be happy to give you a full refund if I post it back to China, I'd rather not waste another $30 sending it back and get nothing back, ($125US)
    so I am throwing a project of blending a heap of different Scotches in to a mix, this is the start

    What a rip off that barrel was mate, I hope you gave the seller the "what for".
    Not only not oak or charred, it looks like cheap pine...cunts.
    Anyway I don't mean to rub it in.
    Was at a cobbers place on xmas day who makes his own rum. He showed me how he had soaked the rum in burnt/charred chips of wood ( I am guessing oak) for some time, he may have even added a few spices. Anyway I had just a wee sip (neat) as I was riding and I must say it was very nice. Perhaps you could do something like that with your whisky concoction?.
    The chips were bought at a home brew shop. If you would like me to find out more I am happy to.

    I never bought it from china, I was on an Australian site and at the time wonder why they were advertising in US$, the site had an Australian distribution address, this was also why I cut my losses when they said I was to send it back to china that I thought cutting my losses and not paying the postage to send it back and have more money wasted

    Sounds like a Dropshipping site. Some are good to deal with but you can count those ones on one hand. When I see a site with something I would like, I check to see if it's a shopify website. If it is I normally move on and look somewhere else.

    With Whyalla printed on the barrel. I can see you would have thought it legit mr S. Sorry you got done. Having said that people store scotch in glass bottles and decanters and have done so for decades without feeling the need to age it further. Just use it as a method the get the spirit from the bottle to the glass. It looks good!
