About Crustaceans, crayfish, mixed species, wild, raw
Crayfish — also called crawfish or crawdads — are small freshwater crustaceans that look like miniature lobsters, and they taste a lot like them too: sweet, mild shellfish flesh found mainly in the tail. They are the star of the Louisiana crawfish boil, where they are simmered by the sackful with spices, corn and potatoes and eaten by hand.
Crayfish are very lean and protein-rich, with about 77 calories per 100 grams raw, around 16 grams of protein and only a gram of fat. They are a good source of vitamin B12, selenium, copper and phosphorus. Like other shellfish they contain some dietary cholesterol, but they are low in saturated fat and calories.
Most of the work with crayfish is in the eating — there is only a small nugget of tail meat in each, plus the flavorful fat in the head that many aficionados prize. Beyond the classic boil, the peeled tails go into étouffée, bisques, gumbos and pies, where their sweet flavor shines.
