What Is Crayfish?

Crustaceans are primarily freshwater species whose bodies are identical to a small lobster. They are sometimes identified as freshwater lobsters, crawfish, crawdads, mudbugs, or mountain lobsters. They are present in the waters of the UK, including the Northern European, Mediterranean, Australian, African, and North American seas.

Just a small part of the body of a crayfish is ingested, along with many edible crustaceans. Its white meat is tender, delicate and takes on a more compact form in the final product. Only its tail part is served in many of these dishes, including soups. In certain parts of Europe, crayfish is a popular seasonal appetiser used as an accompaniment dish to alcoholic beverages. The French add cooked crayfish tails and butter to sauces.
