This Moreton Bay Bug Salad Recipe is a great entertaining dish that will leave an impression on all your guests. Showcase the fresh seafood that Queensland shellfish is famous for. Order your seafood online with our online fish market and ensure you get hand picked specialty items rather than the local seafood market. This is a beautiful seafood salad and will be perfect for the next event at home.
Moreton Bay bugs are very similar to Balmain Bugs; the position of the eyes is the main distinction with Moreton Bay’s on the edge of their shells and Balmain’s close to the centre. The brown rice gives this dish a lovely nutty flavour, which is enhanced by the almonds and sesame oil.
