Crayfish, also known as crawfish, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, mudbugs or yabbies, are fresh water crustaceans resembling small lobsters, to which they are related. They breathe through feather-like gills. Some species are found in brooks and streams where there is running fresh water, while others thrive in swamps, ditches, and paddy fields. Most crayfish cannot tolerate polluted water. Crayfish feed on animals and plants, either living or decomposing, and detritus.

    Recipe Crab and crayfish tart

    Crayfish in the UK (or at least the ones I can obtain from the supermarket) are really tiny, like small shrimps. The latter could be substituted here. For those that have never made it before, home-made rough puff pastry is easier than you might think. I learned how to make it back in the 80’s...

    Reputable place to get crawfish?

    I love all food and especially seafood. That being said, I don't live where we can get fresh seafood (or crustacean, or bug whatever it is). Is there some company that ships seafood like that, that doesn't cost a million dollars? I've never had crawfish and I think I would really like them.

    I mentioned I got a couple recently, I humanely froze them. Took one out earlier to defrost, just cooked it for a sammich later. Pics to,follow. I love mashed egg with the body meat, and seafood cocktail sauce. It's messy. In the sink it's just over a foot 33 cms. Egg boiled with it. Russ

    Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) 2020, before and after

    We catch these with crayfish traps filled with luring pieces of fish bits. Our summer place is located at the mouth of a canal between two lakes. The crabs should be garnished with crown dill but a sudden night frost killed our dill earlier this month so we had to use lingonberry twigs. I bought...

    Recipe Caramelized Lime Fried Boneless Pork Chops and Lime Boiled Crawdads

    Here's a rather unattractive, but very flavorful meal, part knife and fork and part finger food (messy finger food, to be sure). It's very tart from Limes and very spicy from a wonderful Cajun Spice Mix of my own defining. You may feel free to alter some aspects of this recipes to suite your...
