Fabulosity video, Mr. Rea, a summer classic. I am stateside in Arizona. 40 plus years ago as a kid my dad would take me and my brother romping through creeks and shallow ponds in the White Mountains of northern Arizona. We netted or speared / forked buckets of the native crawdads for a boil and picking feast. So simple, free, and delicious. Crack on, mate!

Cup of tea and a cigarello he said, how swarv. This was a good one I'm gonna smash the like button for keeping it real.

I'm from Sweden and we absolutely love the crayfish! -As you may very well know... And with some Aioli, crispbread or a baguette, a really good beer, and not to forget the "nubbe" (spiced vodka) and the "nubbevisa" (special songs sung between bites of food)... Ooh la la!

I love European drink and food culture

This brings back great memories when I visited my cousin in Michigan in 1981. We canoed down a river towards a lake but before we got there we stopped at a small creek (American for stream) to go crayfish hunting. But her method was different to yours. We just stood in the stream wiggling our white toes and very quickly the crayfish just kept coming. We just picked them off our toes or (better still) before they got there. In about 20 mins we had enough for a decent starter for our evening meal. Great video, happy memories.

I had a couple of crayfish as pets when I was a kid. I named them Ronnie and Reggie.

Welcome back! Love your videos, so inspiring.

What beautiful stream. I see no bait containers or other trash. Unfortunately, where I live, a stream so pristine is rare. Love your videos - thanks Scott!

Something to try, ..... here in Australia we call them Yabbies, the cooking liqueur should be a mixture of salt and water and should be as salty as you would imagine sea water should taste. Try it once and you will be blown away at the improvement in flavour.

Yes I had them last time I was in Australia. My cousins neighbour caught a load boiled them up cooked them and they were delicious😋

Its amazing how many of them there are. On a recent trip to Loch ken , almost every single rock I looked under had crayfish under.

Fine if they are the native ones. Less so the American signal crayfish, which are a real eco-problem. Still, they are worth eating. Anything that removes them is good.

Crayfish are delicious 🤘😋🤘

Hurray!!! A new video! Thank you Scott!

Scott! Great vid, as always. Those mud buggers looked delicious. Can't wait for the recipe video. Keep up the awesome content, dear Sir! Cheers from the States.

Good sized mud bug. I love a good crayfish boil here in the US.

Noice! Me and the wife are ordering our UK legal traps, same style as yours, and dragging the boys out crayfish hunting. Nom nom!!! Thanks for sharing.

For an invasive species of shellfish, that does look really good, the way you prepared the crayfish. Cheers, Scott! ✌️

And, none more so wonderful, than the humble Crayfish!"

Great video. I think this is the 2nd or 3rd cray video I've seen since I've been following you. (Probably more than a decade) Excellent camera work, beautiful scenes.

Winner winner chicken crayfish dinner

You're a class act Scott, bangers tea, SOD IT I want to go Crawdad hunting with you mate

With great envy my arthritic hips and fallen arches want so much to go trekking thru those streams for crayfish. Multi-tool for cracking the claws.

you need some cajun crawfish boil spices to add to that water buddy! do it southern style and add in some whole garlic, taters and some cob corn in the boil as well. HEAVEN!

When I was a kid in Puerto Rico in the 70's, we would go down to the local river and just scoop them up and boil them and eat them.

Fab video Scott

If more people knew how delicious they are they wouldn’t be a problem, they’d be dinner! The carapace makes an awesome stock too.

Brilliant video thanks for sharing. Ive just set a pot today up in scotland. Hopefully get some critters later

Love the video I love eating crayfish. Can't wait to see more

He only gone and treated himself to a drone !! Yessss woo hoo great views

Hello Scott, long time, no see! Hope you've been keeping well! Glad to see you're keeping an invasive population down and enjoying them too- if I were to fish for them, I'd have to let them go to waste, because I don't like to eat them.

mate that was brilliant , brilliant video , thanks for the info & showing all the prep thru to eating it.👍🙂

Good to see you Scott!

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who takes the time to eat the claw meat. Alot of people just suck the head juice and throw the upper body out and eat the tail. I always think you're wasting good eats there. Cheers from Pennsylvania U.S.A

Cheers from South Louisiana

Another awesome video, Scott. Nice work!

Just caught your channel , and subscribed what a enjoyable thing to do on a hot morning catching crayfish , the predictions changed it to crabs 🦀, not the thing to catch on a English riverside on a hot summer morning , it’s the embarrassment of asking what do you use in a chemist miles away from your home.

Glad to see you back! Here in the Netherlands these crayfish have invaded too especially in the 'polders' !

I have to agree. If you can get the bigger Signal Crayfish, then the claw meat is divine - it is very sweet and tasty. I'm lucky because I live next to a river that is infested with this invasive species, so it only takes a short while to collect a meal. It's always a joy when you see some of the larger males with HUGE claws (the big ones can be 6 inches long - almost the same size as a Lidl frozen lobster from Canada!).

Loving this video. Doing the river a favour, snagging dinner at the same time. I would love to make Surf and Turf with them!

Scotty went straight Louisanna. Couldn't hide that deep south in ya!🤠

Everything looks so pure!!!

great vid! love to see a beautiful clear stream

I don't eat any shellfish, but love your crayfish videos, beautiful filming, thanks Scott

That stream is a lovely spot

Hi Scott, I put in for some pot licences for where i live which is in West Yorkshire, and have been told in reply that it is illegal to trap for them anywhere in Yorkshire, Its against county laws here, and we still have to many native cray fish in the rivers here, so the EA won't issue them. I really miss catching and eating them, the best free food you can get.

@yogibear3161

2 жыл бұрын

@Vin Delanos That was my thinking, but it shows, the more you trap them, the more they come back, and people don't bother taking the native ones out, and put them back, so we lose the native ones faster.

Hi, American here. Look for a spice powder called Old Bay (Amazon UK has it), and add some to the boiling water. They are also amazing when you add the cleaned meat to a butter, white wine, green pepper sauce over corn grits. That's some fine eating right there.

@horsenuts1831

I tried Old Bay. Didn't like it. I think it is one of those things that you have to grow up with in order to think it is essential. I put it up there with Asian Sriracha which the kids love, but which leaves me cold. But I'm a huge fan of Franks sauce. I think I prefer the Scandinavian way of preparing these, with lots of fresh Dill.

Here in western North Carolina we have large green crawfish. I've not seen the black ones. Chicken wings here are 9 bucks a pound. We use a can of cheap tuna, punch holes in the can and the crawfish love it. Great video brother, now catch some sea fish and prepare.

It was like you were taking us with you. Many thanks.

Living where the signal craws are native, I can only wish they were as easy to catch here as they are there. I’ve caught and eaten countless Dungeness and red rock crabs, I’ve had several species of lobster, but the lowly crawdad is still my favorite water dweller.

Where did thee get thee traps? Bdid they have environment agency signs on? My house is 3 meters from the shallow part of the Avon. I need to try this.

Can I ask how long do you boil for, they look delicious thank you 💕🦆

I’ve not seen any cray fish since I was a kid. What a way to die … ass pulled out and straight into boiling water …

Scott where have you gone man your national treasure hope all is well.

Great video

Chicken liver attracts them too, but it tends to fall apart in the water. Chicken gizzards is my go-to bait for crustaceans in the US.

He's back sonny jim.

Looks like a good location. Do you know what is upstream ? Outlets and from who ?

These are similar to the Australiany yabbie , magnificent eating

Looks like a perfect mental health day, mate 😎

Now that we can't afford the meat or the gas to cook it on its good to see Scott branch out to the more affordable eating of pests

The same story as you tells was in Sweden too. No more Floodcray's in ouer watherways, lakes and rivers! Some one tryed to inplantat the new ones. And was moving boats beween without desinfect them, tragiskt! 🦂,🕊🇸🇪

hii, love ur vids, what river is this?

the other line of thought is they are so installed in our rivers now you will never eradicate them and because there are a plentiful supply of them, it's bringing otters back to areas that haven't seen them in a long while! that said i enjoy nothing more than catching some down by the river and eating al fresco! 😊

Great vid mate what part of England are you in? 👍🏻

Cracking Video But could you not extract the poop sack after cooking?

I'm getting to recognize this stretch of this stream. I have fished them in NY, Il. and NJ. I have never seen them as big as this. The Australian Murry River are, by US standards, Godzillas

Not bad Scott. Now you need several more pounds of them, potatoes, corn... eat'em every year!

I used to use silicon tipped tongs to pick the crayfish up from the bucket.

I’m from the South Mississippi Louisiana border and they are a staple here. Can’t wait to see what you do with em.

Nice Scott

I’ve never seen anyone boil only one crawfish. 🤣 being from south Louisiana we boil 50-80lbs at a time.

That is good fish bait sir. It is also a delicacy to some. But in my book they are just another animal in a pond or a fish tank

Hi ,new to your cannel, very interesting,can you catch them in any freshwater? thanks, William

Great vidio thankyou iv often wanted to do this do I need a licence as the you gov thing just confuses me obviously I'd not harm natives species but me trying to work our wether I need a licence or not is baffling me tia

How long did you boil it for?

We boil lobster in clean sea water. Do you salt the water before boiling the crays?

Are we allowed to trap them now ? When i asked a few years back the authorities said no, something about the large males will kill the younger ones and it will stop them spreading 🤣 yea that worked , love the clip I'm off with me traps tomorrow sod it 👍🏻
