Crayfish recipes
Submitted by catchalittle on Sun, 2013-12-22 07:09
with all this talk of how many crays everyone is catching thought I would put up a post how to you prepare your crays some of the ways I have done in the past
Steamed with garlic and onion
BBQ with lemon pepper
Sashimi with soy and wasabi
Anybody else out there have any recipes they would care to share considering we do have a couple of chiefs on here maybe they will add their bit

Best way has to be split
Best way has to be split green and soaked in butter, chilli and garlic.
Over on the Weber for a few minutes ( not any BBQ has to be a Weber, dont ask why it just does )

I've been doing ours pickled
I've been doing ours pickled with warm vinegar. Then add boiled water onions chillies black pepper corns and put in fridge in a large jar topped with veggie oil to seal. Boil cray for 8 minutes then tail and cut into rings as big as you like. Keeps very firm and great straight out of fridge.

+2 for this.. But I reckon
+2 for this.. But I reckon you are boiling them for way too long..
pickling is a form of cooking so no need to boil..
I usually boil for 2 mins only and that's only so the meat pulls away from the shell easier, not to cook..

Garlic/Herb/Chilli Butter - add ginger if you want.
Live Crays, cut in half shell side down to start on grill side of BBQ and baste with the butter until nearly cooked, flip to get charring, one last baste and perfection

Salt n Pepa popcorn cray
Lunch today very good. Cut tails into medium size chunks, squeeze of lemon juice over the chunks then crumbed in saltNpepa crumbing mix n deep fried. Bloody good for something different, but still defiantly can't go past the garlic butter on the BBQ.
