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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
Almazan now seem to be more about videography than the food, I hope Scott never goes down that route, there's only so many times glistening juices running down a burger is interesting.
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.
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.
Hello Mr Rea, From New Mexico, "USA" . Took my granddaughter last spring and she loved them , all she wanted to eat for 2days..Thank u for keeping it old school .. GOD Bless u
@@serenityinside1 Bein' a Yank, we all know tea belongs in the bay. LOL. Just a little fun from across the pond. Holy crap it's the day before The 4th. LOL Not gonna lie I have a box of Yorkshire Tea in my pantry. It makes the BEST Southern Style Sweet Iced Tea I have ever had in my life. Seriously. It beats Arizona sweet tea by a...oh what do you call miles over there...beats it by a kilometer. LOL. English Breakfast Tea, I guess it's just "breakfast tea" for you, is a great alt for coffee. That shit wakes you up and you don't crash in three hours like coffee.
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.
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.

Great stuff Scott, wish I could find somewhere that had them, but up on the pennines the buggers can't climb that high, do ok for small brown trout though 😀😀, and rabbits and squirrels, but a change is good, and free food even better. Great job Scott, 👍👍👍❤🐧, Don't do the penguin 😂😂😂
As The Master; Mr. Keith Floyd, would've said...."What a jolly little time we had down at the Brook!....Catching all sorts of wonderous things to eat! And, none more so wonderful, than the humble Crayfish!" Well, that's how I imagine it would go and that's what I have in my ears when I pull my Crayfish Traps , from the Brook, from the Lake and from the River. Oh! How I would've adored a TV skit with Sir Floyd and Sir Lemmy; Possibly curated by Sir Everett.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!).
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! 🦂,🕊🇸🇪
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
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.
@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.
@Vin Delanos I know it’s mind bending why we can’t catch and eat a invasive species that are responsible for killing off our native crayfish? Some laws just don’t make sense. You’d the British waterways authority would encourage people to catch and eat them!?
It's because they don't want anyone getting a free feed,,, with excuses like people would move them to other areas or eat native crays ,,, you know the type they think we aren't capable of thinking for ourselves,, id just go and do it if I was you ,, they have no right to take a man's natural abilities away from him ,, .
I think the EA are worried people may take the wrong species. Haven’t seen a native crayfish in 40 years, I live down south. All the rivers are full of signals.
Subbed and notifications on, but first time I've seen anything in ages! RU-vid algorithms keep stuffing things up. Was that a Merlin I heard in the background?
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! 😊
Thanks for this excellent production. Used to net these in the river Darent (North Kent ) in the late sixites. I'm guessing they must have been the, so called , native variety. There used to be gudgeon and sticklebacks and minnow further downstream, together with chub, pike and perch. Now there's just chub - in a greatly depleted and overgrown river. I have heard many stories of rampaging catfish (just the one), American crayfish and the mitten crab ; supposedly responsible for the disappearance of these critters . I guess that's Globalism for you.
Love the vid but honestly especially in UK personal u won't catch me doing it like that in raw sewage uk waters unless we purge until waters clean then cook & eat.
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
