Balmain Bug (Ibacus
peronii) Photographs
and Information
|
Also known as a Bay Lobster, Bug,
Shovelnose Lobster, Slipper Lobster, Squat Lobster and Mud Bug,
Flapjack. See Also: Moreton Bay Bug
The Balmain Bug is a type of slipper
lobster and is closely related to the rock lobsters. It is a
popular, edible crustacean common throughout Sydney fish markets and
fish shops.
The Balmain Bug has no pincers and uses
its short, wide antennae to dig into sand and mud on the ocean floor
in search of food.
The Balmain Bug is found from Southport in
Queensland, through to New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia,
Tasmania to Geraldton in Western Australia. Also found in New
Zealand.

What's the Difference between
Moreton Bay Bugs and Balmain Bugs?
Moreton Bay bugs have their eyes set towards the edge of the head,
while Balmain bugs have them set toward the middle of the head. The
Moreton Bay bug is also a little thinner in the body than the
Balmain bug. Females have a pore on the inside base of each third
leg, males do not.
How to tell Balmain and Moreton Bay Bugs
apart: Balmain is a narrow peninsula and Balmain Bugs’ eyes are
narrow, located close together in the centre of their heads. Moreton
Bay is a wide bay and Moreton Bay Bugs’ eyes are set broadly apart
on either side of their shells. Slipper Lobsters’ eyes are in
between, closer to the edges than the centre, but not on the actual
edge.

Balmain Bugs:
Cooking and Preparing Bugs (Slipper
Lobsters)
 The meat of bugs, found only in the tail, has a medium-to-strong
flavour. They can be bought as frozen meat or whole.
They are best prepared by poaching, steaming, barbecuing or
grilling. As bugs provide good presentation and marry well with
other seafood, they are excellent for cold seafood platters served
with a light lemon mayonnaise, aioli or dill vinaigrette.
When cut down the centre lengthways, bugs will grill and barbecue
beautifully over a high heat. They are superb served on their own,
with the above-mentioned dressings or pesto, or as a warm salad with
fresh asparagus and parmesan. To prevent discolouration of the
flesh, sprinkle with a little lemon or lime.
The flesh of the bug is an ideal, flavoursome filling for meats,
such as an alternative in carpetbag steak or with veal, asparagus
and hollandaise (the veal oscar). Bug meat is also an appetising
additive to fish cakes served with sweet chilli coriander.
