Step-by-Step
Guide to Peeling &
Eating Crawfish
|
|
Like most crawfish novices, we were pretty intimidated by
that big ol' tray of crawdads. But Vince gave us a how-to
lesson that got us peeling like experts.
With one hand, grasp the crawdad's head. Grasp the tail with
your other hand.

Dead or Alive?
If the tail is curled this means that the crawfish was alive when
thrown into the boilin' pot. This is good. If the tail is straight
this means the little sucker was dead when cooked. This is bad,
for some. Many will turn their nose up at these claiming they are
inedible. Others are less discriminating and eat them regardless.
The straight-tailed babies aren't dangerous, so do a taste test
and decide for yourself.
