The problem is, for americans, crayfish are small lobster-like crustaceans that live in fresh water streams or wetlands. They can easily be distinguished from lobster by their size--they are very small and it takes several pounds to get enough meat to make a meal from them. If you're american and aren't aware of where this video located, you might assume it's some youtube asswipe trying to tell you this is a video of a mammoth sized (american) crayfish.
How to portion a facehugger from Aliens after the acid for blood has been neutralized.
that is scary. those legs freak me out. :S
Good stuff! Only advice I'd give would be to cook the crayfish/lobster/donkey shell side down so the meat basically poaches in its own juices.
Cant beat it, Garlic butter, slap it on the barbie YUM. Nice looking CRAYFISH you have there.
This is not a crayfish aka crawfish its a lobster
I love people like you ..you arent chefs but you try exotic food keep practicing it makes perfect a smal tip when cutting dont cut from down side cut from upside to down it makes it more easyier and it stays firm on the table and cuts nicer :) keep it up
It's called Spiny Lobster mostly caught in Caribbean, California,and Europe. Crayfish are smaller-have claws and they are abundant in Louisiana U.S.A.. Lobster with big claws are from Maine U.S.A. but I get mine in Marthas Vineyard - Lobsterzillas and Kongs.
Boy, if crawfish ever got that big down here in Louisiana, we'd all be on the side of the road fishing them out of the water!!!
YUM! Yes they are crays. In NZ we call them crays as the Aussies do. Nice cooking technic. Will try that. Big ones too, well done.
In Kaikoura for the perfect cold ones---- boiling water, crays in, back too boil, 4 mins per cray in pot, cool under running water, in the chilli-bin (eski for our aussie bros) on ice overnite, yum yum with a dipping bowl of malt vinager.
name of the song please?
Cheers from Denmark Sir..- I'll drink to that;-)
Not really a seafood person, but it really looks delicius... I'd sure have a bite of that dish if served;-)
newbies?
haha always delighting to see people getting to know an art
That crayfish is bigger than some lobsters I've eaten. Reminds me of the Simpsoms episode when Homer ask for a beer, and it's this huge thing. "big enough for you yank?". lol
hi there, i appreciate you putting up the video, thanks. was your cray undercooked? just looked it in the video. thanks!
The meat looked a bit on the clear side. I thought seafood should be cooked until it's no longer clear. Is that right?
i've been trying to figure out what to do with the crayfish that landed in my kitchen today. just another 'amateur' cook here, really appreciate you uploading this video. definitely looking forward to lunch now. cheers!
so is it supposed to be medium done? never ate any shell fish half cook but i would love to try some Australian crayfish
This may have all ready been stated, but people are confusing "Crayfish" with "Crawfish" and the regional term for warm water lobster which is Crayfish.
Australian and Caribbean Lobster = Crayfish (big spiny lobster).
Crawfish are much smaller lobster like crustaceans usually used in spicy boils and Cajun cooking.
the woman cutting the lobster lower my blood pressure by the time she was able to split it in half
@Dawgmatic84 chuck em in the freezer for a bit (to put em to sleep) before you cut them up... the tail doesnt really need too much boiling, mainly the top half just to cook all the small areas like the legs... the tail should be seared nearly fresh to retain some flavour.
the way you do it is nearly butchering the thing
i've never seen such huge crayfish. I hate eating the small ones , you'd have to eat 1000 of them to feel like your eating something.
tough crayfish you had there! nice job it looked delicious...i've never had it before
Whoa. That's some huge ass crayfish. Looks raw btw..
Some losers think that all home cookers have to be professionals! Whether they are professionals or amateurs, people cook at home the way they want and they make their food the way they like! At the end we all enjoy whatever we make ourselves because that's how we prefer it!
Nice video. I was gona ask you about the difference between crayfish and lobsters until I read your comment. Now I know ;)
how long did you bbq it for. is there a way of knowing when its done?
those are american freshwater crayfish or crawdaddys. Yabbies in aus. These are the salt water spiny/southern rock lobster which are the lower southern hemispheres equivelent to the northern salt water lobster, they do not have the pincers but taste very alike. Nice feed.
in FLORIDA MIAMI.. it's spiny lobster .... Come to THE MIAMI SPINY LOBSTER TOURNAMENT.. and see the BIGGEST BUGS IN TOWN...
awesome job.Looks yummy.
Thats a freaking big crawfish yummy
Umm... Dunno which part of Australia you're from, but we definitely call them rock lobster here in Sydney mate.
coook the cray fish on the shell,so it wont overcook and would keep all the nice juices in there
That really does look like a variety of spiny lobster. They can be found on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and do not have the big claws that one might think of with the typical Maine lobster.
@Dawgmatic84 Crayfish in Australia are fresh water and allot smaller. These are Rock Lobsters most often incorrectly called Lobsters or Crayfish. Have a look for a pdf on sanssoucidolphins . org called: difference between Australian decapod Crustacea (lobster, rock (spiny) lobster, crayfish, bugs and scampi).
@Dawgmatic84
You acan also drown them in fresh water before you cook them.. This stops them from throwing their legsand swimmers.
The Rock Lobster meat is very sweet. I love it!
it looks amazing!! i wish we had those in mexico!
Beautiful!
Did you actually watch until the end, where they finished the cooking process on a grill.
@kaikahitonari Lobster and Crayfish do have claws. These are Rock Lobsters.
I thought you guys were going to eat it right after boiling lol, so glad you finished cooking it on a grill. How much are you paying per lb for the cray fish over there?
thanks mate, was wondering what the best way is to cut them in half, mine are still green (raw) so will do it first.... love how your mate almost lost his finger around 1:57, thats us aussies for you .... though i do hope you boys had beers in your hands too while doing that
We have these here in the states(Fla) . We call them "Spiney Lobsters" no claws.
thats a good lookin grill youve got there!
I'm jealous :P
Say hello to them from Holland :D
i live in south georgia and we had alot of rain and you could walk outside and look in the ditch and find about 10-20 pounds of them in 5 minutes.
Cheers from Denmark Sir..- I'll drink to that;-)
@Dawgmatic84 That's called Spiny Lobster in the US.
looks like a Panulirus cygnus or a spiny lobster or it is the other species of crayfish which australia has over 100 species in a dozen genera. go and look it up for yourselves but its probably a spiny lobster if it is over 18 inches long (some of the biggest i have seen but the biggest i ever saw was almost 4 pounds) which is roughly 45 centimeters but there are big ones over there.
If you've ever cooked a lobster or crayfish well any shellfish at that, you'd know that leaving the shell on while cooking is the best way to cook it. If you kill a crayfish by severing it's brain with a good chop with a knife then you get all the juices from it everywhere. If you cook it with the juices in there it makes for a much tastier and tender meat. Clearly these guys know what they are doing, you are the amateur mate.
wow thay crayfish looks like half lobster and half crab...now i want one...
its different in spain we have both ones with claws(called bogavante) and ones without like in this video(called langosta). In the market there is also lobsters imported from california they are cheaper than the national(half price) but they arent so good like national ones. within all of that there are lots of types
My mouth is watering:)
looks pretty yummy!
i got hungry now! :-)
what exactly is the difference between crayfish and lobster? is it just that lobster is marine and crayfish are fresh water?
that didnt look quite cooked, or are you supposed to eat them like that?
Whoa. That's some huge ass crayfish.
*drools* Ugh I love Crayfish.
how is it compared with prawns?
At least 5 minutes for a 1 pound lobster,that's with the water at a rolling boil when you drop it in !!
its the first time ive ever seen crayfish that big
Is it freshwater? Not familiar with Australias crayfish. Looks good mate
Yum. I'm jealous!!!
good video - I see the difference in the cray and the lobster
for anyone to lazy to read a discription
Yes in most countries its a lobster and a crayfish is small and lives in the rivers, etc.
In Australia these are called Crayfish i dont know why ask the uploader or something
Crayfish yumm! aka western rock lobster or southern / Tasmanian rock lobster depending on where abouts in Australia you come from.
It's all the same difference just no claws!!
that looks good *drool*
these are a freshwater species??
dude that thing is huge i got one from a pet store for like 2 bucks but i didn't think they grow so big
boy looka dem jokers...them things big right there boy!(( country voice))
don't split it in half the mustard will fall out, just put it my plate i show you this trick.... muah ah ah ahhhhh
man what a beast
i would not call that lobster or crazy fish, i'd call that big water cockroach.. Juz kiddin!
If you caught those urself, you should purge them in boiling salt water because crayfish are known to carry diseases, and when you boil them in salt water it cleans them basically.
Does it taste like lobster?
thats a daddy of a crawdaddy!!! lols yumminess!!
i would use that crab and crawfish boil seasoning
Lightly blanched, and then grilled? Hmmm...
How much edible meat can you really get out of the head?
looks delicious!
what is the title of the background song?
never tried crayfish before but look pretty delicious
If you want the crayfish to open up naturaly, you should've cut it before cooking it. It'll lokks so much nicer that way=). I thought crayfish have claw
that things is huge!!!
Wow they are big.
I wish i could catch crayfish like that in my local lake
This thing really looks like a spiny lobster.
thats not a crayfish, thats a lobster
that things is huge!!!!
Cool! THX
What song is that ?????????????
Does it matter if you're getting the meat out of it?
looks nice.
Next time split the lobsta from above not its belly ;)
And maaayby some less salt :P
Seafood always needs a little bit petite salt.
...mmm.. i want one!
its really just a big boiled sea cockroach when you think about it
WOW it is big dam man its bad ass
If only i watched this before we dismantled the crayfish that was gifted to us XD
And yes nz crayfish dont have claws either :P
It actually looks like a Spiny Lobster.
looks pretty delish though i have never tried...yummsies
although we all do call them crayfish they are infact a lobster, crayfish have claws and live in freshwater :)
I would never eat a crawfish that dang big!
come to australia?heheh
as far as i know lobsters have pincer claws..these cute lil ones dun and is dark red in colour as compared to lobsters which are a bit on the darkish blue-purple side...but i dunno..maybe just a different species
