Crayfish.......again

[yermum]

I know that I've had a thread here before about crayfish, but thanks to son no. 2 and the local river, we now have a bucketful being purged in fresh water ready to eat tomorrow and I want to know if it is all right to eat the females with eggs attached or is there a reason not to?

(I know that there are people out there on t'interweb who think that this may be morally wrong, but these things are wiping out the natives and we should do all we can to protect them)

Also, garlic butter or home made mayonnaise?

You can eat the females.

How many have you caught if there is only a small amount of females,you could let them go so as to give the eggs a chance.

I buy + sell a lot of Native lobsters,some come full to the brim with eggs under there tails.The fisherman are supposed to put them back but unfortunately all they see is £ signs So they dont.

Do the eggs taste bad? if they do throw em back (or clean the eggs off.

Let me point out that these are nasty, aggressive foreign invaders, not our natives and releasing them back into the river is actually a criminal offence.

Here's the original thread that stems from last year:

Should still kill them humanely though.

Yeah, you're gonna have to punch it to death.

 

[BloomerzUK]

Like Neil on Inbetweeners

 

[Skidder]

the throw em back brigade are missing the point - this is another grey squirrel situation, cook em!

 

[Cosimo]

this is another grey squirrel situation, cook em!

.... and eat em!

Whilst it's a good idea to catch the little critters, you shouldn't really fish for them without proper traps and a license

I wouldn't have thought eggs are a problem - they're probably quite tasty!

Can't wait for some fresh crayfish again - my folks live by a river and we sometimes catch dozens from there. Ummmmm

Garlic butter

 

[NiCkNaMe]

WTF how the hell anyone can eat these dirty critters is beyond me... urgh, I remember catching these as a kid

In an effort to deter;
