  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • For the Truffle Butter
  • 150g quality butter
  • 2 tbsp truffle oil

  • Cook the yabbies by bringing 4 litres of water to the boil. Pour in the beer, salt, sugar, dill, and fennel seeds, and add all the shellfish. Bring to the boil and let it bubble away for 10 minutes. Strain, and allow to cool.
