Crawfish

Are you really surprised I'm the first redneck to answer?

:-)

Crawfish taste basically like shellfish. Mostly like dungeness crab (in my opinion). If you like crableggs you'll like crawdads.
The best way to cook them is to boil or grill (ideally - if you have time) - like any shellfish. In my area (Colorado) it's called a cajun boil.
There is a great seasoning called Nantucket Offshore - I swear by it for any shellfish!

Iam a rednecker to lol thanks for the answer, do you catch thses out of a creek or do you buy the crawfish, i guess what iam asking , are they wild , out of the stream, there where you live

Yes the ones you get in your area should be fine to eat as long as the creek isn't contaiminated. If people are allowed to fish and trap in the creek it should be fine.

Just make sure to follow proper cooking and handling of the crawdads and you'll be fine.

I had them once years and years ago in school. a teach brought them back from New Orleans. We just ate em raw and sucked the brains out. yum. not.

it wasn't actually that bad though. don't remember what it tasted like. Chicken maybe?

I like the taste of them but its such a lot of work for such a little bit of meat. and I was also creeped out by the head sucking. I just ate the meat out, I didn't suck the head.
