The HUNTERS! The PROVIDERS!

GB and Ra'am went hunting in the river today for prawns.

They used no nets, just their gloved hands- Ra'am said, "so that the prawns have a fighting chance". The fearless hunters returned with 14 of them.

Now this is not just a little shrimpie. These are tahitian prawns, Macrobrachium lar. They are pretty large and the males have long claw arms.

We don't have pics of the actual hunting.... but here are the at home pics.

Don't they look appetizing, swimming in the bucket?

Ra'am shows us how big this one is

Smells good!
The finished meal. Prawns, mashed potatoes, and steamed warabi (fern shoots). The last picture is Kika enjoying what's left of the meal.



Next time they'll bring a net. They're also going to buy one of those disposable underwater cameras. They said that there were TONS of fish in the water. Can't wait!

Just for the record. The HUNTERS! The PROVIDERS! was coined by GB and Ra'am
