Stab it through the head, then boil it. Split it down the middle to serve and have some pliers or a nut cracker to open the legs (they taste the best). I like garlic butter or sweet chilli sauce to dip the meat in. My dad likes the 'mustard' which is the yellow/brown stuff in the head and thorax so he dips the meat in that.

Never tried to cook anything else with it - crays are a rarity in our house so they get scoffed whole! If I ever got a whole lot at once I might try something like that though - I imagine it would make a nice chowder. You could try it mornay too

Same here but we have also split them and chargrilled them with garlic butter on the BBQ just for a bit of variety.Also love aioli as a dipping sauce and hubby likes his with sweet chilli mayo.

my favorite way to eat crayfish is, boiled/shredded and seasoned with salt/pepper and a generous splash of good quality olive oil and a little lemon juice, toss to coat like you would a salad and served chilled with a little Wasabi on the side and some yummy crackers.

Split down the middle put on the bbq shell side down smother with lime/chilli butter.devine. I hear my son got some on the weekend but havent seen any yet, then hubby caught a lot of fish so may have to do a swap!

bring sea water to the boil, drop crayfish in and boil for 8 minutes. Mind you have killed cray fish as described by craig o4.
