I’ve caught mudbugs in Missouri for years and we always cook em whole! Especially when you have claws that ACTUALLY have meat in them! This has to be the most wasteful way to eat crawfish that I’ve ever seen!
Grabbing the middle fin and pulling deveins the crawfish! Pretty cool actually! Thumbs up man! Myself, always thought that even though the claws are small there is still some meat in them. Someone needs to figure out how to think of a way to get it all out
Tyrzi R6S different strokes for different folks. Between the big pillow traps y’all have down there in LA and the cooking methods are are different. Don’t let it get to ya. Plus, these crawfish are not a signal or red crusty....these look like the Australian blue Yabi’s.
RIGHT. all you gotta do is get a shit ton of them, get ya water with all your spice and seasoning, and you just let them bitches soak. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMM fuck i want some crawfish now.
Does rolling them like that just lose some of the meat though? I feel like there is a more efficient way to clean them so you get all of the meat, there isnt much there to begin with so I imagine just peeling them maybe would be more effective but time consuming? Can you eat Crayfish as well from say North West Ohio? Down south in Louisianna crawfish boils were my favorite man a cold Bud Light and some crawfish is a magical thing man.
I have never eaten them, but there are so many here in Arkansas and some people love them so much. I prefer eating Shrimp instead and they are so delicious so I guess the Crayfish are as delicious also.
Thanks for this video! I found it to be helpful overview of another way to process crayfish besides the typical boil. The rolling pin technique took a little getting used to but worked great. Simple recipe and delicious!
Back in the fifties, many bars in WI would give them away while you were sitting at the bar having a beer. I had a few crayfish boils and had buddies over. I just boiled them live and dump them on the table and start eating.
Hell the old school ways is just wading into a creek or lake and catching them bare handed. Did that to feed my pet raccoons growing up, they love crawdads.
I think he tried to do some "Gambas al Ajillo" or Garlicky shrimp style. It's pretty good but he seems to have over cooked the crawfish a lot, normally you only get the oil hot, put the garlic dice in big parts, some chilies (cayenas are the tipical ones used), wait for the garlic to get golden and put the shrimp, cook about a minute and serve sizzling hot.
I fish with literally a chicken leg on a string and a hand net. Use a knife to shred the chicken leg so they can hold onto it, let it sit on the bottom for just a few minutes, and slowly bring it up to the surface. Crayfish won't usually let go until they absolutely have to, so you'll have 2-8 Crayfish each time you pull it up, then you just slowly put the net under it and pull it all out.
Great Britain has issues with evasive American Signal crayfish too! They were introduced to GB but now their population has exploded because not many Brits are eating them.
If one wants to cook with raw crayfish, the easiest way is to kill them by a quick blanching in boiling water. Put some at a time in boiling water for 30 sec, then lift up and put in ice water. Easier to peel then.
Cajuns never dispatch or kill crawfish before cooking them. In fact when we find a dead one it does not go into the boiling water. It is trash. I have never seen anybody take the crawfish all apart (taking tail meat filé). When the quarantine is over, go to my home town (Lafayette, La) to eat real crawfish by the bushels.

Kind of like harvesting smelt out of the Cowlitz River before it goes in to the Columbia River hence the Pacific ocean, while I appreciate his detail,...he knows
I live in Oregon and ate Crawdads lots when I was younger I was always told like with Crabs you cook them alive or you can actually get sick! Not to Mention that IMHO the best meat is in the claws its def worth the extra work he wasted like half the good meat!
If you cook them whole, then the claw meat tastes better than the tails. If you cook the meat, but not the guts, then the tails are better than the claws. I've been "backing" crabs for 38 years, but used to cook them whole. I noticed a distinct difference in flavor. I applied it to crayfish and got same results. Better flavor if no guts.
Savannah Grissom crawfish crawdads crayfish its all just different words for the same thing and there is more than one way to cook them Its like saying the only way to make chicken is to deep fry it
He missing crawfish boil, onions potatoes, sausage, corn and a ice cold beer. 😂 C'est si bon...
Black Sheep82 yeah this guys wasting his time.
Right
When they miss the ascent they doin it all wrong
People in Louisiana don't know how to cook anything without using cajun seasoning.

I agree.
Here in Lousiana we use cajun spices and boil the damn crawfish. You are doing this for no reason. It is hard as hell to watch lmao
Live crawfish are the freshest crawfish. Just put them in a sealable bucket and take them Johnny's home. Got bless Texas yee yee
This guy is a different kind of special.
Wasting the claws, N I C E!
Mash them up a bit and throw them in the lake. Feed their brothers and sisters. Recycle!
It's better than sending them to a landfill.
I live in Arizona and I’m embarrassed. 😩
You said that this thing destroying your ecosystem . But why did you need those license to catch em ? Lol
XVG Whale Ain’t that the truth
There's nothing 'fishy' about it
it's for fishing in general, but the license provides you with the knowledge that you can't carry them somewhere else cause they're invasive
@@hans3331000 Cant carry them home to cook?? What are they going to revolt???
@@stevejames9510 first of all, they have to be dead first. Cant carry live gobies.
I like how you pulled out the vein from the crawfish! Very smart!
If you purge them properly that is unnecessary
@@windsorfox How do you purge them?
Tynx so much for sharing
Very nice and an lot of cray fish in there 👍👌❤️
Chicken livers work great for bait, and cheap. Cheers! Chris.
Why would you... even the crayfish feels disrespected..
We in Lousiana have entire Facebook pages devoted to Yankees trying to cook crawfish. I think this one may be the worse I've seen yet lol
I'm from NOLA this is a travesty!
Literally cringed when I watched this.
What’s the page
Agreed
What's the page
If they're not native, why put restrictions on traps, licensing, etc.? Thanks politicians!
Because they want your money! They think they own you!
Ding, Ding, government control baby, big government
A wise crab once said *money money money*
~Mr. Crabs
i agree, this gave me headache, a paradox
My God, what fresh hell is this? Don't stab them, cook them, then peel.
Cook them when you catch them and you can transport them anywhere. Great video! Gave me an idea Crayfish taco's!
tHOSE SOME CRAZY looking crawdads
Thank you for this video. Well done.
You are cooking butter not crayfish.
I lost it.....lol
I love Arizona crawfish! I catch them all over!
Crispy voice...I like your presentation too Sir
Who uses a rolling pin 😂😂 we them Oklahoma boys better peel them bad boys!
Work smarter not harder boi
Naw - That's practice for Anger Management 101
Yum looks delicious!!!!!!!!!

I just crack the claws like I would crab claws. Crawfish claws in my opinion are the best meat if they are big enough.
Nice video!
These are some beautiful crawfish tho....
the cook is cool. garlic. good stuff.
this dude has no idea how it’s done as a proud “louisianian” this offends me🤦🏻♂️

You need to understand they have an entirely different culture different types of food its fine if they do it different
I mean if you're offended go eat your skrimp your way and let others be
how are you supposed to do it? as a native born arizonian i have no clue how to do this but i can teach you how to make cactus salsa
RIGHT. all you gotta do is get a shit ton of them, get ya water with all your spice and seasoning, and you just let them bitches soak. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMM fuck i want some crawfish now.
Nice video
Fishing license to trap an invasive species? Think I found why you have a problem.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Good point. Not to mention limiting trap size as if they actually want them.
This is the dumbest Crawfish video I’ve seen!
If you can’t take them away alive, just have a good Cajun Boil at the lake!
😂😂😂😂

This is the BEST video on crawfish I've seen. THANK YOU.
I’ve never eaten crayfish before...I’ll make a trip in 2020 down south to try it fresh

i think if they got a couple of cajuns in there......
the best part of the cray fish is the head, and you threw that away, what a waste
Are you serious? Do you eat the head? 😨
@@damnedmadman no most southern people suck the crawfish's head because it's tasty
@@chrissadd4051 But... you mean they suck out and swallow its guts? 🤢
@@damnedmadman no we just suck out the juice not the guts 😂
@@chrissadd4051 Crayfish gut juice? Mhmm... sounds delicious 🤣 so you kiss it in the "face" or in the place where the tail is usually attached? 😂
1:29 who else heard crayfish crapping XD I DID LOL
Thats a serious takling

Great video! Thank you!
You all should do more wild game cooking videos.
Thanks for the suggestion! We've been trying to make a few more, here's playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLrzVVRRIBxrVhW6S3qYzuOXXBU5JFXLwZ.html
Where you at guy ? Thats beautiful scenery out behind you !
i did this when i was a kid , caught over 100 of them and ate them with garlic butter, i actually liked it better than lobster.
did he just say, "really nice, fresh *CRUSTY* bread"
I'm not Cajun... but who rolls a rolling pin on a crawdad?? Not me! lol
You can’t stop crawfish
Great Britain has issues with evasive American Signal crayfish too! They were introduced to GB but now their population has exploded because not many Brits are eating them.
I can't believe what I just witnessed.....😂😂😂😂
EATING CRAWDADS THE SOUTH WAY IS THE BEST
dis fish is cray
This is your body on crawdads!
Nice Video! To see a vintage AGFD crayfish video copy and paste in search UA-cam with "Arizona Lobster: Tips on Catching and Cooking Crayfish"
I have never seen crawfish cooked this way you boil them with onion and peppers and corn and sausage and Cajun spices and you cook them whole
Who told him that this was correct?! 🤦🏻♀️

STEAM THEM LIKE YOU WOULD LOBSTER OR MARYLAND CRABS WITH J.O SEASONING, MMMM GOOD!
imagine the guy makes another video but eats the shell of the crawfish
"some butter"
Puts the whole batch of butter.
Cher, you don't know what you doin'!
I’m from Louisiana and that’s not how you do this lord 🤦🏽♀️
I’m from New Orleans...this video offends me sir
i'm from georgia and it pisses me off. never seen such horse doody before.
The way they pronounce "cray-fish" makes me cringe. It's crawfish...crAW-fish.
Welcome to Arizona 😂😂😂
Shut up English language nazi.
Its crayfish you nite wit. Any freshwater crustacean looking like a lobster is a crayfish
We always called them crawdads. Crayfish always seemed a little efite.
@@debbied7035 I call em crawdads too!!

Some folks from Louisiana need to come and teach these poor desert folk how to catch, cook, and eat crawfish.
IN AUSTRALIA WE CALL THEM YABBIES. VERY DELICIOUS MATE.
looks good to me, too bad I live in Chicago
First time I see someone clean that vessel from its tail. Not traditional but very clean
What do they taste like?shrimp?
they’re called crawfish and you boil them live thank you for coming to my ted talk
Savannah Grissom crawfish crawdads crayfish its all just different words for the same thing and there is more than one way to cook them

I'm only here to find a good spot to fetch some mud bugs here in Arizona. Back home in TX we know better than to disrespect the crawfish like this🤙🏽🤠
