I hope you use the shells for a sauce. Fantastic flavor, better than the meat in my opinion.

Crawfish claws crushed into a bisque with a real lobster tail is top.

5 lbs of crawfish isn't as much food as it sounds like. that's maybe a pound of tail meat

Are you nuts? With crawfish that's nothing.

I've heard the state of Washington has the tastiest crawdads in the world and they are perfectly legal to fish, but even locals just don't eat them very often. What gives? They are called Signal Crawfish.

i had crawfish and it was disgusting

tasted like overcook shrimp with grit in it

I've yet to try any crawfish but they seem to fuel an entire damn ecosystem in a canal near me and they're perfectly legal to catch. What's the best way to catch a bunch of them at once?

Bait traps would probably net you the most. I used to catch them by hand when I was a kid. I'd make the two biggest ones fight each other and the winner was allowed to go back into the creek to fuck lady crawfish. Haven't been back in ages but I imagine I created a creek of genetically superior crawfish with their own system of justice

its gotta be the liquid form

Probably. I am mildly allergic to both. My mom is very allergic to shrimp and mildly allergic to crawfish.

It's not 100% guaranteed, but seems related.

I always use powdered and liquid along with one of those Zatarains mesh bags and a 16 oz bottle of Louisiana hot sauce.
