NJ CRAW FISH ???

[82ndAbnRVN]

We would catch them in Canada as a kid. As a young adult, my friends and I would catch them in the Adirondacks. Tasty creatures, but a lot of effort for the amount of meat.

I grew up in Kansas ... we would catch crawdads to use for bait. I never ate them for the next 40 years ... I don't eat bait (still won't eat sushi). After eating them down South for the past 10 years I finally learned how to whip through them. Looking forward to 5 lbs of spicy crawfish boil with sausage, cob corn, and sausage in a couple of weeks.

Nothing better than fried spearing, end of summer into October the jumbo spearing are in...dredge in flour and fry. Amazing!!

fluke bait LOL last silversides you ate were big bay anchovies

Break down and eat sushi. Some is decent, some is amazing. I've had some hang ups too. Just started eating eel, still won't eat clam sushi, yet love fried clams. Just remember, anything "spicy" is old sushi and they use the spice to hide the lower quality. Although spicy stuff is still great when you want it.

I love a good crawfish boil, also one of the best fish toppings I ever had included crawfish tails. Itshighly recommended that you PURGE the crawfish prior to boiling for taste. Salt water couple minutes does the trick.

I do a few boils every year, get the craw fish flown in from LA Crawfish along with the spices and Andouille sausage, add come corn, potatoes, carrots, onion, sausage and some shrimp.  

 

Mighty fine tasting meal!

I get any live NJ crayfish  - it's going on the hook for giant smallmouths.  I doubt there is a better bait for them.

 

Why do we call ours Cray and Louisiana calls them Craw?   Diff species, or is it like Taylor Ham vs Porkroll?
