About Crustaceans, crayfish, mixed species, farmed, raw
Crayfish, also called crawfish, crawdads, or mudbugs, are small freshwater crustaceans that look like miniature lobsters, found in streams and ponds and farmed in flooded fields, especially across the American South and Louisiana. The sweet, tender meat in the tail and claws has a mild, slightly briny flavor much like lobster or shrimp, and the flavorful fat in the head is treasured by enthusiasts.
Crayfish are a lean source of protein, low in fat, and supply vitamin B12, copper, selenium, zinc, and iron. They are the star of the Cajun and Creole crawfish boil, simmered live by the pound with corn, potatoes, and spicy seasoning and peeled by hand at the table, and the picked tail meat enriches etouffee, bisque, jambalaya, pasta, and pies. They are also popular boiled in Scandinavia and China.
Buy live, lively crayfish or cooked tail meat, and store live ones cold and damp, cooking them the same day.
