Allergens and safety warnings
CONTAINS: Crawfish.
SAFE HANDLING: Handle crawfish with care. Do not drop or throw the crawfish bags, as this can crush them. Make sure to ice and cover crawfish while transporting from the store to your home. It is important to keep the crawfish moist and cool, so it's best to transport and store crawfish in a large cooler. Do not put crawfish in the back of a hot truck or in the trunk of a car without being covered or iced, as the sudden temperature change is harmful to crawfish.
Keep crawfish iced and covered until ready to cook. If crawfish are going to be kept overnight, put them in a cooler and cover crawfish (in the bag) with a wet cloth or newspaper and put some ice on top. Keep the cooler lid open and let any water drain out of the cooler. Keep crawfish out of direct sun. It is best to buy the crawfish the day you plan to cook them.
When cleaning crawfish, keep a constant flow of water running. Do not leave crawfish sitting in water in the hot sun for a long time as this will cause them to die. Rinse crawfish and drain water. Repeat until water remains clear. Purging crawfish in salt water will start to kill them. Purging in salt is not recommended.- How to Eat Crawfish: Wash hands. Peel crawfish while they are still warm. Separate the tail from the head by slightly pulling and twisting (discard the head). Hold the tail between thumb and forefingers and squeeze until you hear the shell crack. Grasp the first three segments of tail from the side and pull off by lifting up and pulling around the meat. Firmly grasp the exposed meat in one hand, the tail fin in the other, and pull gently.
How Much Meat Can I Expect? Some, but not all crawfish are sized or graded, but small to medium ones give the highest meat yield and are easier to peel. Based on a yield of 15% meat, 6 - 7 pounds of live crawfish will provide 1 pound of peeled tails. Plan on purchasing 3 - 4 pounds of live crawfish per person per meal, or 1 pound of fresh or frozen tails to feed three people.
