Where to Eat in Maroubra

Maroubra has taken me from lively Chinese seafood tables to a beachside meal and a butcher worth visiting for haggis. Browse my local stories for neighbourhood favourites, bakery stops and casual dinners that make the trip further down Anzac Parade worthwhile.

Golden Unicorn restaurant for King Crab, Maroubra
Featured Review Golden Unicorn restaurant for King Crab, Maroubra

Extremes of anything, big or small interest me and my sister had been plying me with stories of having the legendary King Crab for years. When she last had it, about 5 years ago, it was $500 and it fed 8 people with plenty left over. If you pass by a fish tank in one of the larger Chinese restaurants, the King Crab are the gigantic 3-40cms long beasts, the flesh less delicate and sweet than mud crabs but if you get a full one, much better to feed a gluttonous tribe. Crab are a funny thing though, sometimes they are empty with little flesh in them whereas sometimes they're full of flesh and this varies apparently according to the moon. Its a cycle that we've yet to decipher so we usually go with lobster which is always reliably full.
