If you can look closer at the photo the price is written on each piece and these range from $60-109 per piece! We passed by Kaikoura on the way to our final destination. Kaikoura means eat crayfish or delicious crayfish. So we made sure we had crayfish.Kaioura (13) Kaioura (17) Kaioura (21) They call the yellow part – the Mustard which they use it like a sauce.  We call it ALIGUI or TABA! haha!!Kaioura (18) Kaioura (20) Kaioura (14) Kaioura (22) Kaioura (28)  Our eating adventure today was by a picnic table at Nic’s Bin with our van behind us to block the sun by the Kaikoura Coast facing the Pacific Ocean eating muscles, crayfish and beer battered chips with our hands! It’s the most expensive shack meal ever :-O  but anyway the hubby treated since he’s celebrating his birthday
