LAU ISLANDS, FIJI – We’re in the remote Lau Islands group in Fiji, only accessible by boat, and today we’re going to Vuaqava Island, where they are known for their coconut crabs!
First of all, thank you to my friend Andhy Blake for arranging my trip to Fiji: https://www.instagram.com/andhy_blake/ and to Captain Cook Cruises (https://www.captaincookcruisesfiji.com/) for taking us on this once in a lifetime Fiji cruise.
We docked near the uninhabited Vuaqava Island, Lau Islands, Fiji, which is known for its natural beauty, incredible seas, and also for being an island full of coconut crabs! Coconut crabs are definitely unique, and they are a huge delicacy in Fiji and for the local population on the Lau Islands. They all mentioned that they coconut crabs are so tasty and so delicious that they don’t need any extra seasoning or cooking – all you have to do is boil them for about 10 – 15 minutes and eat. The crabs eat mostly a diet of coconut, so they have a sweet coconut taste to them, and the fat in the stomach (similar to the tomalley on other crabs), is like a natural coconut crab pudding with a complexity of flavor. It was an amazing experience to be with local Fijians on a remote island eating coconut crab.
Next up on this Fijian crab tour we visited another island – Totoya Island, Lau Islands, Fiji where we had the honor to cook and eat another Fijian food delicacy of land crabs, cooked in coconut milk. The crabs were boiled then fully deshelled, then mixed with onions and chiles, and lots of coconut milk, and re-filled back into their shells. They were boiled again until the coconut milk thickened into a creamy crab sauce. You eat them with a fresh squeeze of local lime and chili, and it’s something truly magically delicious.
What a day of Fijian food and the freshest crabs from the source!

Hi mark wiens im ur biggg fan follower i texted u lot of time jst one hi i feel very happy
Really amazing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
geez i just looked up how much the fiji cruise would cost. Anywhere from $4000 to $7000 (depending on cabin) for a 7 day cruise. and i'm sure to do local island excursions is additional extra per day.
So amazing. I need to go where you go. But this nation I can't go.
Sorry, but disgusted to see!
Nice video. That looks really delicious and fun. Thank you for your sharing. Have a great day my friend
👍👍👍👍
Bula Fiji!!! 🇫🇯
I’m not a vegan, but I would not get myself to eat that. They are slow growers, the age they get. And their personality… it’s like eating Bambi, Babe or Lassie
Crabb :3
I Call It The Way I see It
Your videos in these maritime islands bring closure to us who are from these islands but have settled in the urban centers due to work, education and other reasons. So happy to see my island covered in this segment (Totoya). Great videos!! Good stuff.
Mark you are really awesome 👌. Thank you for the visit.
I thought coconut crabs are poisonous. Somebody please explain that to me.
pain lol
i wish you kill it first before boiling it
welcome to fiji mark
Lmao sound like after he ate that piece said my ninja
Aren't coconut crabs endangered and protected so you shouldn't be eating them?
Nice video. But why do you say the crab is "so juicy" when obviously it should be, as it was literally soaking in the coconut milk?
I’m was from Christmas Island and have my fair share of eating coconut crabs many years ago .. and believe me if you had coconut crabs steamed or boiled in water. I can guarantee you that s the best crab you will have in your life … by the way it’s also know as robber crabs as they are famous for stealing or robbing from campers tents 😅😅
Was h by any chance eating coconut crabs, he did mention coconut a few times lol, still talking garbage with a mouth stuffed full of food lol. Does that young lad ever go to school.
