i may try them after things settle down

Well, they are on the Restricted Secies list for Texas. I have sent an email to the administrator of the texas parks and wildlife department. Hopefully he will let me know something in the next day or 2

Yeah, they are 100% illegal in texas. Only way you can have them in texas is if they are dead and gutted

Thats a bummer. When the Louisiana crawfish harvest begins in the next few months, you should be able to get plenty of red swamp crawfish.

i'm gonna get me some of those red claws. i guess marron's are the biggest ones.

Marron... are a different creature than Red Claw...

Correct...

I harvested a pond full of koi today. I picked up a few red swamp crayfish. We call them mudbugs or crawdads. I took some pics next to a tape measure, the large numbers are inches. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. So these large specimens are approximately 20 cm long.
Here's my first try....

Here is one freshly cooked on a standard 8 inch paper plate.

Very similar in alot of ways......bet they are good eating

I luv eating them. Suck the heads and pinch the tails.

I know its not crays but when i was working we had a chinese bloke who would put a whole prawn in his mouth chew it up then spit out the bits he dident want
