All you need to know about Crawfish Recipes

Crawfish belongs to the scientific class of crustacean or so called shellfish (the same type like Shrimp or Lobster).

This means that the Crawfish has a hard shell which is shed regularly.

Crawfish can be found all over the world in freshwater. Even in Africa where they are not native but introduced.

There exist two main species of Crawfish – the red Swamp Crawfish and the white River Crawfish. Over 90% of these two types are harvested in the United States. The red Swamp Crawfish can also exist in warmer water and poorer water quality unlike the white River Crawfish.

The crawfish are harvested in breed or wild during November to June.

When buying a fresh Crawfish for your own kitchen to prepare tasty Crawfish Recipes, it is very important that they are alive or frozen immediately after the harvest. Otherwise the meat will become uneatable.
