AMERICAN crayfish in the uk

[Glacier]

I am sure they are worried about the spread of the creatures from one stream to another. In Ontario, we had a HUGE problem with zebra mussels a while back. You had to disinfect your boat if you were going to go from one lake to another. Everyone was parinoid about the spread of these little buggers. It is unfortunit though that you couldn't catch them to bring them back to your home without getting the cuffs slapped on. What someone needs to do is make a good recipe for crayfish tails and claws, make it a delicasy...

Someone tried to do it on a programme called 'River Cottage' he ate crayfish, though it was only like a 10 min segment, and I dont think many people watch it. But with the spread of the little pests, I hope it isnt long now until everyone can legally take them out of the water.

if you want to cook craw fish, just add all your fav. seasonings to a pot of water, then boil the water, after it starts to boil throw in the craw fish, after 10-15 min pull them out and enjoy. lol, on of the better things ive learned visiting west virgina.
