Love them! Matter of fact I’m heading to get a bag now!
I'm up here in Canada, and have never had a "crayfish" or a "crawdad" or a "mudbug" but that don't mean I don't want to try 'em. I sure do.
Living in MN, we always referred to them as crayfish.
Then I had the chance to go down south and eat crawfish. No difference in the name and I dont care what you call em, but i'll eat em.
I started this thread out of concern for the hide being inclusive..... I know you fucking stinking filthy commie shitbird Yankees didnt know what a Crawdad, mudbugs, yabbies, mudpuppy, in the other threads were.. you know me, an inclusive humanitarian, now you filthy dam yankees can go read the other threads and understand what us Americans are talking about.
Crayfish are hard to find up North unless you know where to look: Chinese buffets and Asian supermarkets. Not every Chinese buffet features them, but when they do, they're spicy and undergrazed, 'cause many up here have no clue.
I would not eat them out of a Chinese buffet. If you do, you will prob shit like a tied coon!
Boiled is good but really it's all the fixings that go with it that make it really good in my opinion.
But what makes mudbuds great is Crawfish etoufee, all the goodness and more and somebody else has allready cleaned them all so just dig in.
I could harvest them from the creek in my backyard in Jersey while growing up.. they were smaller than these in the south though but the flavor was better, not so muddy.
You're looking in the wrong spots. My parents live on a Lake in northern Minnesota and those little bastards are everywhere
Okay. I'll be right up for a snack. Just keep the lutefisk.
My rule of thumb is if it doesn’t moo, oink, cackle or moan ? I don’t eat it!
Ok, all you damn Yankees just stop. Its not crayfish. It’s not crawdads. It damn sure ain’t mudpuppies. It’s crawfish. That’s it!
That’s all you call them, unless you live in Atchafalaya Basin, then it’s dem dare mudbugs. And you damn well better use a Cajun accent when you say it. ?

Fine, Canuck Crustaceans it is.
I’ll be driving over The Atchafalaya Atchafalaya Atchafalaya in about two hours. ?
We love us some Craw Daddy's here. We even made a holding cage that hangs under our Dock for when we have more than we wanna boil at the moment. When my Boys were small we'd camp out at the Covered Bridge which was just down the road from our house, and make a 2 day event outta it. That was a blast......
That piece of plywood in the top left corner is where the cage hangs.
The Covered Bridge on the Grays River.

I was thinking the same thing.
Must admit, also thinking I ain't eating them no matter how you pronounce it!!!!

When I was 15 we took an awesome trip up through Washington.
I have great memories of stopping at that bridge to check it out. After crossing to what I remember was the south, on the left was a marionberry bush the size of a school bus. Someone let us at it and we picked and ate a ton of berries.

And yes. Crawfish are a delight. Boiled, etoufee, never had one I didn't like.
My buddy is from Houma so I have called then mudbugs since we became friends.
Going to Abita this summer to visit Family. Prolly eat a pile or two then.

Only if I catch them out of the creek. Clean clear water here. Not a fan of what everyone else likes. "Mudbug" is about right.

We used to boil up a big pot of them at family reunions. (Cold mountain creek near Quincy, CA) wonderful stuff.
Jambalaya and gumbo is great with them as well.

Used to live right of Tchoupitoulas Street in NOLA. Always amused me locals could pronounce that fine but insist on saying Cal-ee-ope for Calliope St.
There are only a couple of species of crawfish harvested commercially. But there are well over a hundred more obscure species across the southeast and likely many still unknown. Today's not on the menu crawdaddy is the Camp Shelby burrowing crayfish. Even if you've been there, you haven't seen it.
