Crawdad, Crayfish, Mud Bug, Fresh Water Lobster?
What do you call them where you live? Do you catch, or trap them? Do you like to eat them? If so, how do you cook them? [:p]
I can't wait for season to open in just a few weeks. Last year we caught about fifty HUGE bugs in about an hour. What a feast! I've had them in New Orleans, Houston, Portland, Chicago, San Diego, Fayetteville, Jackson Hole and Seattle. They were prepared differently in each place and they were all delicious. * At home I enjoy them steamed with lemon and butter, or New Orleans style (spicy BBQ broth) when I really want to "get into it".

Welcome Phillip[8D]
South Bossier here. Savoie's on Jimmie Davis Hwy. had them for $1.29 cooked and .99 cents, to go, last weekend.
Around here, we call 'em crawfish or mudbugs, and I just can't get enough of them.
I ate crawfish all last weekend and have plans to go to another crawfish boil this coming up week end as well. This is Louisiana after all.[;)]

Crawfish. Best when boiled like they are supposed to be (you gotta be from Louisiana), with good friends, and a tub full of Miller pony's. Gonna do 80#'s this weekend for the first summer party/birthday party.
Ramtin, you and yours are welcome to come. It's BYOB and speedos required for the men folk.[:D] The pool is open!!0 -
Crayfish and mudbugs are what they are called here. Figure about two and a half pounds per person if you are throwing a feed. Add boiled corn and man, it's time to eat.[:D] 0 -
I was at a "crayfish" boil once. Best things I ever ate!!
The guy who did it, told me the secret is to rinse the bugs 4-5 times in clear water to flush all the mud out of them. He boiled them in cajun spiced broth with corn, onions, potatos, garlic, and a bunch of other stuff! We ate them on newspaper spread across a picnic table. Damn, they are good!!0 -
Mostly crawdad, but where I grew up (Houston) I heard them called just about every name. We never ate them much, mainly used them as bait, but lately when ever I go back to visit someone brings a large cooler full of them to every family gathering. They are good, but I still will not suck the heads.
