what can i do with it! apart from just eating it with a salad, its a biggy and husband cooked it straight away whichwas annoying as I had a recipe to cook in a lime and horseradish sauce from raw in the shells, I have found a risotto recipe for salmon and pea and thought maybe I could do that and add the cray at the end to gently heat through? this is for tomorrow nights tea.

My aunty made this wonderful seafood pie with it, basically just sauted onions salt n pepper a bit or herbs bits of crayfish broken up and to top it off, wait for it a blue cheese sauce, amazing topped with potato and baked in the oven til golden brown. I know blue cheese is a scary one for most people but wow does it have a bang when its made as a cheesy sauce crayfish pie. It is to die for. Its got just enough creamyness, just enough bitterness and just enough sweetness to make everything a ok!

Note to everyone, no the blue cheese sauce does not taste like horrible blue cheese on its own, something magical happens with all the flavours.

You could make a lovely seafood chowder Maureen and put in cray, mussels,prawns etc. We have three in the freezer and more to come. A client of DH gets them out at Ngawi.

Or make crepes and serve mornay rolled up inside, You could add shrimps, diced fish,oysters etc, by heating the mornay sauce just long enough to cook the additions
