CATCH n COOK YABBIE hunt (crawfish, crawdad)

[@terribrewer2687]

Living in South Mississippi, USA. A crawfish boil has cloves of garlic , sweet vidalia onion, bell pepper , lemon and cayenne pepper in the boiling water . Corn on the cob, new potatoes , button mushrooms and raw peanuts in shells. Are cooked first , then more spice added before cooking crawfish in same water . Most people here use fish as bate. And barbecue the chicken, lol. Never tried them in salt and water. We also purge them in fresh water before cooking to clean out their guts , the little black line in the tail.

O yea thanx bud I will give that a crack next time I get some cheers 🤙🦞

I normally use some salt, herbs and a few bay leaves for my yabbies. They don't need too much to be honest. I have never had crawfish, so I can't say if they taste similar....IMHO these are on the small side for yabbies. Around 20 (~8") to 30cm (12") are a good size. About the same size as a legal lobster in the US.

[@Semicon07]

OH, and that pot that he cooks them in is WAY too small.

[@terribrewer2687]

@@Semicon07 YES pot way to small for here. Mine is a 30 qt, about the size of a 5 gal bucket. A crawfish and Yabbi are kissing cousin's , so I would think the taste would be very similar. 8 to 12 would be HUGE here. MAYBE 4 to 6 is our normal size.We use a Cajun crab boil, not Old Bay, Northerners use that.I don't care for cloves in it.

[@Semicon07]

@@terribrewer2687 The main reason the pot is too small is due to yabbies releasing a toxin when they die, not sure about crawfish doing the same. Basically you want them to die immediately after hitting the boiling water (also it is more humane) - if the pot is too small the water will cool down and the yabbies don't die instantly, this will make you sick AF. My mum and sister have had this experience and my sister is now allergic to shellfish.

[@concernedcitizen2868]

paused at 0;55 if you working on a house show it. getting new and remolding it, show it. Sure wont be the fishing we crave, but will be worth watching. I am from the USA worked on house's and caught creyfish as a kid in the north west, but also remolded houses as a living for a while.

[@adventurewa3242]

Mmmmm I could do that we are going to be starting another Reno soon so I’ll film that from start to finish thanx mate 🤙

[@brucejohnson5745]

Thought that was my phone going off when you went to pull the first net lol wished I had a spot like that to catch them

[@adventurewa3242]

Hahaha yea spots like that r getting hard to find now 🤙

[@liamloveday2676]

Mate like your work. Tell you a secret with those traps. They designed to be lift straight up out of the water. Pulling them in from the bank they lay over at 90 degrees may lose some. I tie the string to the base the bottom of one corner the trap comes out of the water so much better

[@adventurewa3242]

Mmmmm u on to something there I will give that a go cheers bud 🤙🦞

[@liamloveday2676]

@adventurewa3242 once you realise give me a shout out

[@BPchadlite]

Are there any public spots near Perth for this or do those get thrashed? I assume the real good hauls are in private dams

[@adventurewa3242]

I’m not sure I doubt there would be spots like this public this spot Is private property yea thanx for watching 🤙

[@donfinch862]

As far as I'm concerned........you hit the nail on the head! Bread n butter, salt n pepper - maybe a splash of vinegar. Best way to have crabs, prawns, yabbies. Bloody good haul of the little buggers. The prob with this vid is you eating 'em and me watching. I'd better get out there. Looking forward to the next show

[@adventurewa3242]

Hahahaha thanx mate u know it it is the best way and thanx for watching mate 🤙🦞

Next time get a bigger pot or put less in at once. I catch and cook to so I'm not canning you but be humane mate. Love that dam. I've never seen anyone use dog food before. I always use a beef or pork snag cut up or a bit of liver. Those Yabb's were bloody clean though. Well done.

[@mickssouthaussieadventures1631]

Mate, what a catch. Can I suggest something? If you have access to sea water try cooking them in that, they taste just like good prawns if you do. Great video and great catch.

[@adventurewa3242]

Mmmmmm that could be good I will give that a go mate thanx heaps 🤙

[@bulldograzor]

You should take a big container and clean them out. The amount of dirt inside them is insane.

[@adventurewa3242]

Yea mate true I should be doing that

[@cliffcampbell8827]

I use a bucket with a valve at the bottom. Fill the bucket with crayfish and cycle clean water through. Once the water leaving the bucket is as clear as the water going into the bucket, the mudbugs are minus the muddy minerals (make sure the crawdads are alive when you put them in the bucket).

[@cliffcampbell8827]

Is there no meat in the claws?!?... you're missing out. The sweetest meat is in the claws (if they're big enough). The meat in the tail has that fish taste but the meat in the claws is completely different. The flavor is subtle, very tender (like warm butter almost) and rewarding if you can get to it.

[@adventurewa3242]

Yea bud I normally eat the claw meat it is totally different love it 🤙🦞

[@scetchport]

Spot on, no idea.

[@vincecotton127]

Nice Vid.... A tad Inhumane though.....Maybe a bigger pot on a rolling boil would be better than a pot full of yabbies in hot water slowly coming to the boil.....

[@adventurewa3242]

Cheers 🤙

[@morganatkinson8527]

Being private property is it a family or friends to you or is there a way to make contact with some farmers for an opportunity to go catch some.

[@adventurewa3242]

Friends and family mate I guess I gotta know people theys days mate 🤙🦞

With the amount of yabbies in that dam you could afford to take more and leave the rest to grow bigger.
