Kiwi crayfish rolls
Sadly crayfish aren’t as abundant now in the foreshore as in the times when Jani and I were kids clambering around the rocks. Over the holidays there’s often a generous relative or diving mate who will arrive with a juicy cray wrapped in newsprint. This recipe is one both Jani and I loved during our time in the USA – Jani in Nantucket, me in Maine – where lobsters are abundant local fare. It’s a great way to stretch a cray to serve a few hungry holiday goers. For the best results, use the freshest bread rolls you can get your hands on.
