  • yellow in the head is fat - some folks love it - not me!

  • Question? If there are juices in the head, why do I see crap when I split the crawfish in half? Is that crap in the head too? The yellow stuff? Ya know?

  • @fitzpatrickgf the yellow in the head is fat - some folks love it - not me bro!

  • that is huge!!!!!

  • They look like little lobsters

  • fuck that in texas we eat the vein

  • @ZombyGenocide1 So in Texas you eat shit; we're all very impressed.

  • @tnjay87 :) lol it has minerals

  • @ZombyGenocide1 So does dirt.

  • It's too bad the claws don't have much meat.

    I wanted to see the guy eat the home-grown one.

  • I like dipping it in menstral cycle blood, along with salted rats feet.

  • nice accent!

  • I live in Detroit and we don't do crawfish boils, are crawfish fishy tasting or is the taste like crab legs or shrimp? They look really intimidating to eat, down right scary. Giggling: "suck the head"??

  • @kymelle ... well, crawfish aren't fish so they're not fishy tasting. they're unique, the tail tastes something in between lobster and crab. the claw meat is the best tasting meat you'll ever have. too bad it's only a nibble. i get bored with eating boiled crawfish, i prefer mine fried.

  • i usually take out the 'vein' but then i start getting lazy and just leave it in. Doesn't have any taste (even though its filled with shit)

  • @MrFrodo1066 ... i've usually had a couple beers by the time the crawfish is done and never even think to devein it. 

  • i once sucked the crawfish head too hard and the brain ball came out and i tell you it tastes so grose it will make u gag really bad and leaves a long nasty aftertaste.

  • Hellya!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just wanna say to all your morons, that it IS called a vein. Thats why its called deVEINing shrimp when they pull it out in restaurants. You're right, it is the "shittube" as you elequently called it, but its true name is vein.. Next time know what your talking about before you bitch at someone who knows what they're talking about.

  • god i love crawfish.

  • These critters look like deformed insects even more than crabs,

    but they are so tasty :)~

    In Baltics we usually use the centuries old recipe - boil them with salt and dill.

    Nothing to add. Food of gods

  • if u dont squeeze and slurp the head then dont eat crawfish at all.

  • suck the head of the crayfish haha

  • yeah i now know to take out the vien. because some crawfish has some sick shit they eat. i remeber i ate one with the vein and it immediatly made my tastes buds react because of the nasty takes and i bared like crazy once i started chewing. same with the sucking, the BIG crawfish has these nasty shit right under there heds. its like a lil black ball being held by 2 pole looking viens and if that breaksand u suck it, u will throw the hell up because the taste of it is undescribable and nasty..

  • I ate cf for the first time a few weeks ago, it was delicious and messy. Although I felt bad throwing away the claws and head (I did slurp the head) because most of the meat is in the tail.

  • we just call it a vein sometimes but we see that poop in it!

  • Its not a VEIN.. its poop. lol.. nuff said.

  • I love crawfish, but so little meat for so much efforts opening them lol

  • We get down in California too! youtube.com/watch?v=gZdPJ1aI90­g

  • We get down in California too!

  • Yummy!! my mouth watered!

    Ok in california, a freaking 1lb bagof crawfish(cooked already_ at a restraunt.

    Cost (exsuce my language) FUCKEN 13 dollars, and there smalllllll!, and its like 15 in a bag. WTF! --_-- Ugh! Those crawfish he eating are HUGE if b in heaven ifi ate those. here in cali there as big as your pinky! SUCKS! but there so goood

  • How much did 15 pounds cost?

  • i will never eat the vein again. i ate one crafish that had some nasty shit in its nein and it tasted like a very strong gritty sand tht tasted like a stronge taste of a mussels stomach i puked one i had the taste in my mouth instantly

  • i love the Louisiana accent sounds similar to the Boston accent !!

  • those big ones have some nasty shit in thehead part it wa s like a big cocopuff lookingthing with 2 things holding it and there was a bit of it in the vein in the tail and it tasted so nasty i ran to my bathroom and spit it out. i forgot what it tasted like...oh wait ya it was like a strong taste of a mussels stomach

  • yuck but i still want some.

  • I am so happy it is crawfish season-Just had some the other day.

  • Forgive my ignorance~ & my Granny (from Shreveport) would probably boot me in the tail for not knowing...but why suck the head? is that mando when eating crawfish?

    I"m from Cali and have yet to been to Louisiana

  • @keeNCali ppl suck da heads bcuz dey can get da juice 4rm dem ppl like it so dey can get a nice spicy taste im eating some crawfish later 2day yay

  • I don't dip it in shit and I don't devein it either.

  • i love suckigng the heads soo good

  • ?? you dont dipp boiled crawfish in anything... no cocktail sauce no mayo, nuttin, if you need to dipp your crawfish you need to learn how season your boil.

  • Gosh I love crawfish...lol

  • dont suck the head

  • i just ate some haha we joke around with the yankees up north we peel a tail then feed it to them and say you just ate a bug the different reactions are funny and if you eat a crawfish that was dead before you cook it it wont kill you unless you eat alot of it

  • i use mayo but anything is fine

    its your taste buds so eat up and have a yumyum time

  • scribd (dot) com/nb812

  • Looks great.

  • Looks awesome.

  • try pinching the sides of the tail and pushing into the head twisting that way you will get all the meat and then finish by grabing and pinching the back of the tail like you said

  • only in louisina in other states you aint gettin um this good....we peel em like no problem

  • cocktail sauce? why does that sound wrong?

  • Below average on speed, novice at best. Every real crawfish expert has spice, crawdad shit, and snot everywhere. Oh and beer of course with the same contents.

  • Do not post another video on how to eat crawfish, for you have no clue, please stop. I am dumber now that I have watched this. Must be a yank tryin' to act southern or cajun is what I suppose. Eat crawfish down here like that, and you'll not be invited back I promise.

  • lol you made me laugh....i needed that!!

  • Like an old timey cajun told me my first time I ate crawfish - "eatin crawfish is kinda like havin sex... ya gotta work to get to the good part........ "

  • Now I'm hungry!!!!!!

  • its a myth about its tail being straight....pull the vein out?? cocktail sauce?? terrible peel... this guy has no clue.

  • Looks easier than getting the meat out of the lobster shell. Of course the lobsters a little bit bigger...lol... Great vid. The local one looked much better. More yummy. Why you ask? Because it's home grown.

  • i eat the vain?? haha and cocktail sauce wtf? y not tony's?

  • does it taste closer to lobster or crab?

  • texture is closer to lobster

  • we just say that the straight tailed ones will kill ya. not really the case but we DO NOT eat the those just the same. seems to me they were dead before cooked and that is not cool.

  • its an old wives tale about the tail being straight dont eat it

    theres nothing wrong with them

    and you only need to google it find the truth

  • what do u mean itll kill u?

  • Man, I want some crawfish.

  • i live in south louisiana and the only good thing about it is the food,

  • crawfish is not fish?

  • Crawfish,Watermelon & Cold Lager,

  • yummy~!

  • its not a fuckin vein in the tail its the "shit-tube"

  • got it - we just call it the vein sometimes - we have all seen the crap that comes out of that colon!

  • @clawfingers I said the same thing yesterday! If you are either cajun and or live in Louisiana which for me , both , you know the basic crap like that!

  • Comment removed

  • @clawfingers just spat my coffee over the monitor with that comment ahahahahahhahha

  • lots of cholesterol in crayfish

  • MMM LOVE ME SOME CRAWDADDIES !!!!

    BEST when FRESH!!

    OOOOOWEEE

  • Im eating a bowl of crawfish right now...lol wierd how i ran into this vid. I needsome crawfish from LA.

  • FUCK IS IT OK IF I EAT THE SMALL ASS NES

  • YUMMY I CANT FIND ANY IN OC

  • theres's a place in the oc, on brookhurst.

  • is it the one thats all u can eat i have been there and ill i got were 3 crawfish :(

    everyone there just eats the crawfish and that dont eat the other foods that have

  • No it's actually around where there r alot of vietnam markets.. its on either edinger or brookhurst :-) its right in the corner of this little plaza. they have them in huge bags and you can order them as spicey as you want!! You can order sausage, potatoe & other stuff in these bags. U can order other food as well.. And they also have THE BEST STRAWBERRY LEMONADE AROUND!!! YuM!

  • chinese resteraunts hav dem

  • were you drinkin a damn purple haze? lol!

  • purple haze ain't too bad during the summer - right now trying their satsuma wit brew. also like the pecan harvest and turbo dog.

  • :d Mmm m m. We're goin' to a boil pretty soon.

  • lousisanna is famous for its yummie gumbo and craw dads

  • lived in Louisiana all my 25 years and I don't like crawfish, but I do like chicken. Nice demonstration

  • OMG this makes me so hungry.

  • That's 3/4 of the flavor sittin there in the head- I gaurontee-u. Peel the tail, suck the head (squish it for all the juice), then eat the tail. What a rush- make your gran-ma-maw cry so spicy. My mom was from Houma- Bergeron/Hotard- Iz born in NO, raised in Metry.

  • im sure since they are mini lobsters

  • aww yessssssssss. making my mouth water.

  • i love crawfish, its like a cheaper version of lobster xD, where i am from we eat crawfish at summer with many people at parties outside at summer nights and have a great time, so i liked this vid :P PS. I don't eat the vein either

  • WOW...where can I find Louisiana crawfish in Southern California!?

  • Boiling Crab. google it, there are a couple in the OC

  • this video makes me hungry for some crawdads!

  • Holy Jesus...what a feast bros!

  • MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

  • very nice job guys.. but the crawfish this year will be very expensive to buy.. I might have to put out some traps myself to have my own boil going this year...

  • It'sa bout dat time agin!!!!! Here'sa sumtin to git dat mouth waterin I garontee!

  • Just because the tail is straight doesn't mean it died before it was boiled, and you can still eat it if the tail is straight.

  • i got to try some....lol.

  • nuttin like louisiana crawfish!!!!

  • Well bullzeye, yes i've always known that you don't eat the one's with the tail sticking straight out, but I don't know if it will kill you. I have heard it can make you sick, so maybe it could kill anyone if it makes them sick. But they're right in the video, it means they were boiled when they were already dead. But you'll always find em in every batch, it happens. Just don't eat em =)

  • F-New York - MSG me on MSN. ID is in my profile. f

  • i love crawfish i just did not know that if the tail was straight it could be deadly (if i understood it right)

  • the part about the straight tail ones killing you was just an exaggeration - we just never ate them - crayfish DOA!

  • Good!!! cause I'm about to boil some for the first time and that part scared me!!!!!

  • I used to catch wild crawfish as a kid (had to watch out for the mounds of fireants floating around). Cook em' with some crab boil. No sauce needed.

    Forget the farm raised or imported ones. Yecch!!

  • does it taste like lobster or shrimp?

  • Doesn't taste like either. They're good though, especially if they're spicy. Mild crawfish tastes bad.

  • i love crawfish damm send me some.

  • whats exactly is the yellow stuff inside? i always thought the vein part was the poop, lol...

  • yellow stuff is poop too and sometimes eggs. i love crawfish.

  • no its not

  • How do you season it?

  • does the brain taste bad???

    ive seen other vids and when they suck the head they make a sound like uhhhh

  • actually thats the best part it holds all the seasoning...seasoning which can only be found in the us if its imported from here in louisiana...and  us cajuns dont eat them with cocktail sauce like the idiots up here we uses ketchup, mayonaise, louisiana seasonin and some garlic mmmmmmmhhmmmmmm lol

  • the best part is the head part no doubt. thats the riches part!!

  • dude im so jealous, and hungry

  • DAMN! that big one looks JUICY!!! YUMMmmy!!!

  • lol awesome. whats the vein?

  • Straight tail is a myth, repeat Urban legend. a straight tails means that the tail was straight thats all it means, it will not kill you hurt you make you sick or anything else if you eat a straight tail, and it does not mean that they we dead when boiled, all it means is that the taikl was either straight when it died in the water, or it straiten out after death, but for kicks and gigles lets just say it was dead, it still won't hurt you...

  • Yeah I don't think anyone REALLY believes it'll kill you or make you sick. I mean, by that reckoning, hamburgers and porkchops are lethal. It's just one of those bits of tradition that filtered down through decades of crawfish boils. Just adds to the fun of a good crawfish boil.

  • i LOVE crawfish. i cook em in the louisian crawfish and shrimp and crab broil. i love it! but in my opinion, crawfish tastes better cold. my favorite ingredients are oranges,apple cider,sausage,2 halves of a lime,onion,potatoes, the broil and of course,THE CRAWFISH!

  • pinch the tail shell to where it cracks the middle from fron to ende then peel it off side to side then suck the juices from the head ( just seasoning water because its real tasty..

    i dip my tails in a mix of crawfish season, sugar, and lime..or the usualy garlic butter

  • Doesnt the head has all the shyyyt..? just wondering.

  • you don't "eat the head", you put your mouth where tail used to be and suck the juice out. But yeah like that one dude said i've never tried cocktail sauce but down south we perfer a mix of mayo and ketchup, maybe some tabasco. Either way i love crawfish

  • the "vein" is not a vein, it is crawfish's intestine.

  • yeah, that one has always gotten me, it really doesn't matter if it is or not an intestine, as it has been boiled clean of any harmful bacteria, but I love to hear people call it a vein, especially when it's people that act as if they are the crawfish experts

  • It's just a euphemism, same thing with "de-veining" shrimp. Sound a lot better than pulling out the digestive tract right? Has nothing to do with them being ignorant, it's just the commonly used term.

  • @jinjinweiwei Same with shrimp. But I guess they call it that because it sounds more pleasant than "de-pooping" or "removing the poop" from shrimp or crawfish. Haha.

  • mmmm i love sucking tha heads yum...psht yall dont need cocktail sauce.. and where th HELL did you get those crawfish i want some big ones :)

  • dayyyyyum that is some big ass crawfish im jealous! pssht..you gotta get at least 40 pounds.. but DAMN. pluhhease tell me how to grow some of those..where yall at?

  • you cant just grow crawfish you have a to have a crawfish farm..typically many acres of land to create a swamp..its not easy..

  • i dont know where ur from but u dont have to have a farm to have crawfish...some of us in louisiana are lucky enough to live on a crawish feeding ground and we can catch them in our backyard... enough to have a party haha

  • try pinching the the tail pulling it out with your mouth. thats the way i eat them. cocktail

    is for shrimp brother. dont ruin that great taste with cocktail sauce!

  • wait can u eat the whole thing

  • He's too damn picky for me. I eat it all, the meat and the head. I was born and raised in New Orleans so I know all about crawfish. I literally could have eaten 7 in the time he took to peel that one.

  • how do you eat the head?

  • Indeed I do :) Best part, in my opinion.

  • no...HOW do you eat it...do you just bite it off?

  • Oh lol sorry I misread your comment. No you don't bite it off, you twist the tail to break the head away and you suck the juices from the back of it. It's deeelicious :)

  • oh haha I suck the juices too...I thought you meant you actually eat the head[as in the shell and what not]

  • yum

  • i love crawfish but eating one with a straight tail wont kill ya. lol

  • omg....he's drinking my fav. beer....

    purple haze is the shit!

  • Have you tried the strawberry flavored abita? Its pretty good in my opinion.

  • strawberry harvest lager is AWESOME!!! gimme some!

  • Yummyyyyy!!!

    xxxx

  • Great video. We used it on iKangaroo dot com along with 6 places in NOLA that we recommend for great crawfish.

  • crawfish=delicious

  • damn those are big.. but you slow peeler... =/

  • oh my gOd!!

    i haven't had crawfish in

    3 years!!

    i can't wait til i gO this

    summer i can eat ALL 15 pounds

    lOl

  • Bullshit. 98% of all crawfish consumed in the US come from Louisiana. About 2/3 of those are farmed.

  • wuts tha point im from louisiana and when ur born u no how to peel a crawfish!!lol

  • lol 2 true,i was raised watching and learning the art of peeling lol

  • you got to suck the heads, thats how we do in Ville Platte.

  • that dumbass is slow as fuck, huh i can peel faster than that!

  • I used to live in utah, and every week or so we'd go camping by this creek, we'd never bring food, but we'd bring coffee/drinks and a coffee can, plus lots of seasonings. Every morning after camping we'd go pull tons of crawfish out of the creek and boil them in a coffee can over the camp fire in our special seasoning blend (whatever we had haha). I'll tell you right now, there's nothing better than fresh crawfish that you pulled straight from the creek yourself.

  • dont be a pus eat the vain!

  • I'm getting hungry...

  • thanks for all the great responses!  hard to find the Louisiana ones in NJ - i used to live there and didnt have any luck. they taste better than shrimp if prepped right!

  • Holy Shit now that's homegrown!!! I tried crawfish once..but didn't know what to do. Thanks for this video and good eating!

  • man! I so would like to taste this!!! it looks awesome! Like shrimps? Small crabs?

  • They don't really taste like shrimp or crabs. They have a distinct flavor. It also depends on what you boil it in (crawfish boil) it's a seasoning. Some people put lemons, sausage, onions, and all kinds of good stuff.

  • it want kill ya iv eaten a strate tealled one . and brutha who and the hell cares if they fill the pain

  • ALL u ppl who care if crawfish feel pain are not why does it matter u problly have killed a ant before to all my ppl in Louisiana

  • lol u want thm to freeze to death in sted of burn lol!
