Best Moreton Bay Bugs
in Brisbane
Moreton Bay Bugs are the undisputed culinary mascot of the city and a must-try for any visitor. These flat-headed lobsters are found in the local bay and yield a sweet, firm meat. They are typically served grilled with garlic butter or chilled as part of a grand seafood platter. The flavor is richer than a prawn but more delicate than a traditional lobster. You cannot leave the river city without cracking into a plate of these local delicacies.
