Watermark Marron 
Watermark Kilns and Marron Farm is surrounded by state forest and
grazing properties and high in the water catchment The property has
abundant pure water.
We produce marron for the restaurant trade and for sale at the farm gate. We're also licensed to sell the local pygmy perch and western minnow, both popular aquarium subjects and great for controlling mosquitoes. These fish (and marron themselves) were once widespread in the south west, but introduced predators have reduced their numbers and range. By breeding and offering them for sale Watermark Marron is doing its bit to preserve these species. |
 A marron at pond's edge Do not confuse them with yabbies or red claw. Marron are the aristocrats of the crayfish world and require water conditions to match. They need fresh, oxygen-rich, pollutant –free water. Anything less and they walk away or just die. Their inferior cousins will tolerate much worse conditions, but then they don’t taste as good. Marron are fussy breeders—only once a year in spring. Yabbies? They breed like rabbits. No class |
 Summer Method
for netting a marron meal!  |
You can order your marron in whatever form takes your fancy: live, split for the barbecue, boiled, or as a complete marron meal. You can even arrange to take away marron—iced in a foam container.  |
The secret for cooking marron? There isn’t one.
In general, less is more. They have a delicate sweet flavour that can easily be overwhelmed by too much sophistication. They are magnificent with Jeanette’s fresh sour dough bread, perhaps a suggestion of lime or tartar sauce and a bottle of local white wine. |
