For the true connoisseur of fresh seafood, the ultimate dining experience is a live mud crab or crayfish / lobster from our live seafood tank. Mud crabs are a specialty of On The Inlet Seafood Restaurant Port Douglas. The famous Queensland Mud Crab or “Muddie” contains plenty of sweet, juicy meat.

The claws and body of the Mud Crab are a prized delicacy. The moist meat of the North Queensland Mud Crab has a marvelous, distinct and sweet flavor, characterized by large firm grains and a rich earthy flavor.

When dining at On The Inlet seafood Restaurant Port Douglas, you can select your own live mud crab from the live tanks. Our chefs will prepare your selected mud crab and serve it in your choice of 3 styles – Mud Crab Singapore Chili, Mud Crab Garlic Black Bean or simply steamed Mud Crab with a Citrus Butter.
