Crawfish
Crawfish are small, 3 to 6 inch, fresh water crustaceans that closely resemble lobsters although they are not the same species. They are commonly referred to as crayfish, crawdads, and mudbugs. They can survive in all forms of freshwater from brooks and streams to swamps and rice paddies where they feed on plants
and dead aquatic animals. The largest variety of Crawfish are found in the south-
eastern United States where over 330 species have been identified.
Like lobster, Crawfish is prepared by boiling. Typically, the tail meat is the only portion of the Crawfish that is eaten however the claw meat and other sections are also edible. There is a worldwide market for Crawfish and they are particularly popular in Southeastern US and growing in popularity worldwide.
