...thousands of shimmering yellowfin fusiliers swishing past me. The marine life is abundant, from spaceshiplike manta rays to the venomous yet showy lionfish. And some of what swims underwater also pleases when it lands on your plate. Aussie chef Damian Barrett's menu features such treats as grilled Maldivian lobster, spicy mud crab and straight-out-of-the-water yellowfin tuna sashimi. If you're an adept fisherman, the chefs at the Cayenne Grill, one of three excellent restaurants, are happy to throw your catch on the barbie.

Each of the 181 licensed fishermen in Steele's Southern Zone is limited to a maximum catch: no more than 159.3 kg per lobster pot per October?May season. Once you reach that limit, you're on holidays, though usually with decent spending money.
