Crawdads

[alecvg]

Does anyone have good recipes for crawdads (crayfish).  Ive boiled and dipped in butter, is there anything else I can do?  Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

They are great for bait and that's about it, IMO.    We use to boil them just like crab with a little beer and Johnny's in the water.

I love the suckers if they are large enough. Anything you can do with shrimp or crab you can do with crawdads.

Sprinkled with Jamicame Crazy seasoning and butter, yum yum....  Was in Alabama for about eight weeks once, oh my goodness, I couldn't get enough of them crawdads....  They were so good...  Where do you get them around here?

crawdads....  They were so good...  Where do you get them around here?

You can't get them in Washington.






Actually, just about every lake or creek in WA has crawdads.  Just get a crawdad trap and bait with bacon and toss out in just about any creek or river and you'll catch them.

Saute and season and add to Pasta Alfredo! They rarely make it out of the pan to the noodles though.

If your in a need for Mudbugs which is what we call them or Crawfish you can order them next day air from New Orleans Seafood in New Orleans, LA. They are inexpensive and man are they fat and purple, we used to order them when we were up north 50lbs about $90.00
