Dried Whole Crayfish

Crayfish, also known as crawfish or crawdads, are small freshwater crustaceans resembling miniature lobsters. They have a hard exoskeleton, a pair of pincers, and are found in rivers, lakes, and streams. Crayfish are commonly used in cooking, particularly in dishes like soups, stews, and boils, and are especially popular in Southern U.S. and Cajun cuisine. They are prized for their tender, flavorful meat, which is found primarily in the tail.
