I have been catching brown crabs, shrimps, lobsters and crayfish for years. I cant tell you now that any commercial fisherman in the UK would laugh heartily at the PC idiots who "place their catch in the freezer" to ease their passing. Its hilarious.
If you get the middle paddle in its tail and twist left and then right and then pull it takes the whole guy out in one go and if you don’t purge by washing two to three times by immersing in cold clean tap water then you are going to need quite a few bog rolls
So you don't soak the live crayfish over night in clean water to purge them of impurities before putting them in the freezer ? Everyone I've spoken does this but now it seems unnecessary 😊
Hi Mark, Good useful vid. Could you please tell me, if the environment agency issues me with a licence to trap crayfish do i need to ask permission from the canal and river trust first? If so it said on their website that they normally don't give permission unless it's for scientific research or some think to that nature, is that correct? If so we are just going around in circles hence why there is so many!!!!
OMG why would you want to eat creyfish you don't know what the fuck they eat in that river shit,flesh dead bodies wtf is wrong with you all Lobster is much better
You should look up some swedish or american videos of how to cook, peel and eat crayfish and you would learn some interesting things on how to do this…
Mark, I've just cooked my first batch but I don't know if I'm missing something. They don't seem to have the flavour everyone raves about, in fact they are tasteless. Well purged over 3 day's, chilled as in your vid, boiled in brine (no other addition) 4 mins. I've got some Shwartz Cajun mix, is this right stuff & how to use ? Thanks, Frank.(E. London)
Brilliant. Thank you for a very educational video

Good
If you grab the middle of the tali and twist half a turn you pull out the entrails. Much easier.
thanks fella
we'll follow your instruction this afternoon and I can't wait to eat em
Pull the middle fin out and it will pull the gut out.
Amazing how much time and crawfish you wasted in your demonstration.
Y'all would starve to death eating crawfish in Louisiana. I can't believe how squeamish Brits are about cooking crawfish, either. 🙂

Too much waste

Great video, thanks for the upload
seemly a lot of pissing about for a small bit of meat, nice vid tho mate thanks
thank u, all the southern us people don't bother explaining…-_- imagine that
Personally I'll keep doing it the cajun way much faster not tastier but thanks
you can pull its shit pipe out by pulling on the middle tail only.
In the States we just break the head off and suck the head out, your considered a wuss if you don't.
Why dont you purge them?
Hope you picked up some (a lot) of tips on how to cook and eat the mud bugs since you did this is. If not look at Crawfish 101 on here.
Great video mate thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

great video, really helps!
you srsly took 4 minutes to eat that whole body! some one took 8 seconds to eat the whole body what a shame!
OMG why would you want to eat creyfish you don't know what the fuck they eat in that river shit,flesh dead bodies wtf is wrong with you all Lobster is much better
5minutes in the freezer 5 minutes in salty boiling water. Takes 5 sc at the most to peel them. crush the claws in ya teeth. That's why we have teefs.
this video was really useful tthanks

terrible way to eat 6 to 8 pounds of them. no scissors needed just use fingers
thanks, good advice

Thanks for the info, just seems pointless for the amount of food you get from them. Well done for removing them from our Rivers though thumbs up.
you usually never see anybody bother with the claws. nice job.
