Crayfish Catch And Cook |How To Catch, Cook, Shell And Eat Crayfish 

seeing crayfish this big is mind blowing

Calling MASSIVE Godzilla sized crawfish "under size" is totally insane. You could fit 7-10 crawfish from Lousiana in the same space as 1 of these things... These are more like Lobsters than crawfish.

I would totally enjoy that meal. I'm a Floridian and we love this kind of food. Those things look sweet. I hope I get to try one someday. Great video.

Crayfish in Canada are the size of jumbo shrimp, these creatures are like baby lobsters. I would totally go fishing for these, would be worth it .

Nice job brother. Here in Arizona, we have to catch 50 or 60 to have a decent meal, but they are much smaller and considered an invasive species, so no laws against catching as much as you want. The only law is you are prohibited from returning them to the water you caught them in. God bless bro. (I catch them by hand with a snorkel and mask, gloves, and a nice underwater flashlight).

Man I just love the way you make your videos and your sense of humour! I feel like I can just watch your videos for hours. Don't ever stop Robbie!

When I'd come back from crabbing, my mum would set up shop with a long-handled teaspoon, a pair of adjustable pliers and small toffee hammer. She'd be as happy as a pig in poo. If she was feeling fancy she'd have a loaf of fresh bread, some fresh lettuce leaves, salt and pepper and maybe some thousand island dressing. She always preferred spanner crabs and sand crabs over muddies. Crayfish were all good too.

Awesome video. Never seen crayfish like that. Just wow

Crayfish catch and cook? That's crustacean cuisine taken to the next level! From trapping to table, you've mastered the art of turning claws into applause-worthy dishes. Move over, Gordon Ramsay-there's a new chef in town, and they're all about the pinch and punch! And I Am Floating Village Life

imagine these in a southern seafood boil

This video captures something so down to earth and serene. I could watch a 2 hour unedited version of these videos, as if I was there just relaxing. A few tinnies and some crayfish to end the day sounds like a day well spent!

Your enthusiasm is out of this world and my mouth is watering watching this video!! I wish I could find spiny crays in nsw near me , keep up the vids mate they are awesome!!

What a great sign to see so many ladies with eggs ... Sets up the seasons to come nicely .....

This video should be flagged for cruelty. I spent nearly 8 mins cleaning up my own drool!!! Love ya work brother, subbed!

Us Americans have a hard time understanding that there are crayfish this big

Wow! Your crayfish down under are huge! And have crazy armor! They are almost lobster size! It's similar to catching blue crabs in the states. I use chicken necks on a piece of coat hanger wire and some string for hand lines.

Finalllyyyyy, someone else calling them cray fish

Well, the crayfish with the deformed claw hasn't let it slow her down- she's not only grown big, she's grown enough to breed at least once. She must be extremely fit in other areas to do that!

Great to see the population of Murray Cray’s is bouncing back Robbie.

Hey I just broke my knee cap 3 weeks ago gathering invasive American crayfish. I was ecstatic anyways but yours are a true meal! Here in US we are lucky to see one 4*. I applaud your sensible conservation. Keep tuckering!

Loving the catch n cook and camping clips mate👍

Dang brother, those things are huge they're almost as big as Maine lobsters in the US! Great Video!

Great video Robbie, I haven’t seen you eat crayfish in a long time keep up the great work!

As a lifelong southeast Louisiana resident, I’m drooling. Could you imagine a king kooker full of these behemoths 🥺

Those are Mad Max Cray.

Another great video mate you make them so enjoyable I can't get enough of them

Thank you for another fantastic Robbie production 🥳🥳 you are the Man so tomorrow I’m getting my nets out and I’m going for it 🦞 great catch and cook you explain everything beautifully 🤗👍🥳

Great vid mate. And good looking catch. Never seen them in the flesh. Redclaw up this way. I used to run 2 battery powered aerators in two tubs and let them flush out for 2 days. Then cook. Never tried the lemon trick, I used whole garlic cloves and a bit of raw sugar and brown vinegar. Bloody lovely. If I ever get another chance I'll definitely try the lemon.

When Maine lobstermen throw back an undersized catch, they give it a fish as a consolation prize.

Very good instructions on catch and cook of Crayfish. Alas, they are NO CATCH where I usually fish. You got me drooling Robbie.

It’s a good day is Robbie Posts ❤ What a legend 💪😁

Dude, I’ve been watching you since you first begin. I’m glad you’re still here. looks like your channel is doing well. I wish I can figure out something for me to do. I’m tired of being broke. I need a RU-vid job.

Woohoo catch and cook. Can't wait

Another great video as alwaus mate! I took my mate out(previously mentioned in other comments as the new cod fisherman) on his first Cray session last night. Unfortunately no cook-up for us this time but still had success in terms of getting him his first - a bloody HUGE female. I called it as soon as the net popped out of the water and i saw her claws and eventually the rest of her body that she was well over, and then she was full of eggs on top of that so just ended up getting a quick pic and a measure, she came in at around 14-16cm on the carapace, didn't want to keep her out too long and stress her so made sure to get her back in the water and away she swam❤️

When getting the meat out of the arms of crabs, we always use the back end of a tea spoon. Easy peasy. The claw itself we use a nutcracker on. Or rather a specialized version made for crustaceans. But in a pinch a regular nutcracker works as long as it is made from metal.

I live in the west coast of California and watching this reminds me of the upcoming Dungeness crabbing season

Yessss Robbie another great video 👍🎣🇦🇺😊

If you press the tail towards the inside of the campus of the tail it cracks then you just open it up like a butterfly and the meat comes out. You don’t need to with the clause. A spoon tapping will crack it generally best to rip the claw off crack around the top and you’ll get a little lollipop.

here in the USA, we do not have any size requirements you cannot take. only lobsters. Are you in Australia or New Zealand? your guys are like small lobsters. I have family in NSW'

Thats an ace little stove Robbie, done the job perfectly.

Please bring some of those giants to Louisiana and we will show you how to cook them cajun style😊 crab boil, lemons, onions, mushrooms, garlic, salt, butter....etc. 🤤

That was a five gold star video Robbie. Thanks for sharing it with us. There were some really healthy looking Jennies with eggs. So good to see. Great to see so many and good sizes too. Over here in the mid north of SA we are finally starting to get a little bit of rain after a very dry autumn. I'm hoping to see some yabbies pop up soon. All the best to you and the fambam mate.

Great stuff mate thanks for talking about the two rods with hooks and hand lines to mate I have been unsure on that for years and I didn’t get many in the nets last week when I was away and yet while I was fishing I caught 7 crays in one day with 4 of them being legal crays but I put them back thinking I couldn’t keep them so cheers for that mate love the catch and cook

Looked like a great morning and a great feed, I might have to get my cray nets out

Thank you, friend, for sharing the best experience, keep it up, friend, very cool video,

What a great video, i enjoyed every second of it.

That was wonderful. And such a good demo of how to catch and cook. Thanks, Robbie.

The catfish you call crayfish blows my mind. Ours are at best 3 inch freshwater crays. We don't have saltwater LOBSTERS in Oregon. 😅

Haven't seen any of your other videos but just by browsing through it, im very jealous of your life style.

Huge shellfish! Where I live, we eat em that grow to be harvested much smaller / South US variety. Farming *crawfish is quite the industry. We buy sacks of 15 kilo or so and boil em spicy with aromatics, hot pepper, salt, lemon and various garnish - corn, small potatoes, sometimes mushrooms. I'm sure you're familiar. Interesting video and thanks for teaching! Had no idea these could get so huge and I bet they make a fantastic treat!

Excellent and very nice crayfish

Wow, that's a lot of meat! That was awesome, really good session too, wicked video! 😁👌

I'd say this is the Hardest Working Aussie Crayfishing man I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Well done mate....from S.F., CA. BTW, our "legal catch" crayfish in N. America are about 1/5-1/6th the size of your beauties.

Anyone that has caught and cooked a nice cray will agee the meat and juices are sweet as candy!

Love your responsible fishing. Subscribed

hows the fishing at the hume now im going there tommorow so if you have any tips of whats the best fish to catch this time of year

Gawd I would love to try this!

Robbie do u have any advice to catch my first Redfin

The kindness here is so inspiring. Blessings to everyone!

those things are fantastic! nearly prehistoric looking with all those huge spikes!

Really enjoyed your video..good honest content Cheer's mate 👍🔥

Hi Robbie informative and fun thanks mate

LOVE IT... really jealous bc where i live there are only crawdads/mudbugs/crawfish whatever you wanna call em

Looks like a pretty healthy fishery with all the females with eggs. I wish our crawfish were that big here in the states lol

Never seen one of those before. Amazing. You only need enough water to steam them ..

I am in Memphis,Tn. I will repeat what my other fellow americans are saying. These are lobsters LOL. I just subscribed to you, will watch all your videos. Just amazing large crayfish.

What country are you in? Australia? New Zealand? Those crawfish are almost the size of lobsters that you caught. Here in the US Texas and Louisiana they're a lot smaller. You have to catch 30 pounds 14 kilograms to feed about 6 to 7 people

9 screen licks Robbie, well done and so tasty.😊😊

i've seen you catch them but love watching them being cooked too

These are huge! nice job mate!

Omg the crayfish here in the states are fishing bate size compared to those tasty looking Australian crayfish your so lucky to have those in your rivers and streams and ponds great video by the way

Amazing Catch good going. My friend eat the inside of the crayfish. Also is delicious.

Can't beat a good cray for a feed. We always use a long neck beer bottle to crack the claws rest them on a bit of timber and give em a whack, plus it a good excuse to have a beer with em'. Great vid mate.

So just water and lemon? All the other recipes I've seen have at least 10 different spices or flavors. I'll have to try this.

you call that a knife this is a knife lol. I love it

It would be insanely good to have these introduced to Louisiana's ecosystem.

great video man, i wish they got that big here in Florida. i could go to the river find some treasure and lunch

Hey Robbie, sorry for bothering you so late, still not sure why you would answer a phone call from strawbs 😂. Appreciate it a lot. Hope you and the family are well!

The accent - I'm here for it!!

YUMMO! Crays lookin' healthy!

Those would be a great addition to Florida’s ecosystem 😂

these are gnarly - just one of them look like they could make a meal

those , we call them , crawdads , in Texas , are HUGE ! here we boil potatoes, onions , corn on the cob , in lots a cayenne pepper [ red pepper ] and a crab boil seasoning . chuck the crawdads in live once the water is boiling . eat them with cold beers and lots of friends.....well boil a hundred pounds of them at a time .

First time watching and throughly enjoyed it.Subcribed too.Those crayfish are massive!!! The UK crayfish are small.

DAMN, those are some big crawdads!!!!

sustainable ethical food is the best and most enjoyable thing to do. Great video buddy I bet it was lots of fun and super tasty

Hey Robbie, how ya been? Love this video, I will definitely be coming back and watching again when I go for some crays. We’ve never eaten crays and iv always wants to eat em. Keep up the great work, keep being the amazing person you are and tight lines brother 🎣

Tip Top vid Robbie. Good to see the waterway healthy

Awesome video, good to know I'm not the only one who drags the pliers out of the boot :)

Now I've fished some pretty big crawdads my friend, but those freshwater lobsters you're pulling out blows my mind.

I love how you have compassion for them. But that doesn't stop your passion for eating them.. Except the underside ones. They get no love and house get tossed like garbage😂😂

Listen, if the big Aussie "crawdads" taste as good as Tennessee "yabbies" then it seems there's a bit more here to love! 👍‍😍

I'm not sure if they are the same as in the United States, but the mud line can be removed before cooking. If you pull the middle tail fin out, they are connected .

Mouths watering! Thanks Robbie.

When I was a kid in Long Island, we would go out at night with flashlights in a shallow draft boat crabbing with pole nets.

Gotta love Robbie. 💪😎

You the man Robbie!

Crikey Mate!! Those are huge!!

😮 Australia is truly a wild place man

Hey Robbie where can you buy the cray measures?
