A straightforward way to really showcase marron.
large handful cooking salt
8 marron or 3-5 yabbies per person (depending on size)
large handful fennel fronds
bread spread with mayonnaise
Bring a very large saucepan of water to the boil, then add salt and stir well. Add marron or yabbies and fennel fronds and cook for 2 minutes (depending on size) or until meat is just cooked. (Test by twisting off the head.) When cooked, remove from water and cool slightly.
Twist off heads, pull out digestive tracts, peel and slice each tail. Place tails on bread with mayonnaise. Eat while still warm.
