Fresh Crab is excellent (I hate to say this yet again) ESPECIALLY here.
What kind do you have over there? We have both Mudcrabs (freshwater crabs which are these huge more-than-football sized brown coloured fuckers), and quiet a few saltwater varieties, a popular one is the blue swimmer crab, do you guys get them?

Here's one thing that you'll probably only get to try if you take a holiday here...they are an excellent shellfish called the Moreton-Bay (or balmain) Bug. Two varieties of pretty much the same thing that as far as I know you can't get anywhere else.
No, they are not an actual bug...
They definately beat both lobsters and crabs in terms of taste... hands down...
Here's some info I found, and some good news

www.australianseafoodexporters.com.au/bugs.htm

I didn't know this before, but the site said they're actually available for export (hence the site name)...so yeah, some time if you ever have a bbq and have a few bucks to spare, I garauntee they'd be excellent.
The moreton bay variety are a little nicer, but if you're going for bulk, the balmain variety are almost twice as large.
Kinda ugly lil bastards - very tasty tho.
