Marron

A native Australian crayfish (Cherax cainii), the third largest crayfish in the world) prized for the sweetness and quantity of its meat. Yielding 40% of its weight in meat, the marron has the most favourable flesh-to-shell ratio of any freshwater crustacean. Farmed chiefly in South Australia and Western Australia, marron is available fresh year-round, and are black when mature. See also yabby and redclaw.
