Whole Cornish Crawfish
A relative of the lobster, the crawfish is a beautiful spiny crustacean and even more of a delicacy than its family members. Unlike a lobster, they are an orange golden colour and are covered in spines. They also lack large claws, instead being equipped with spiky multi-purpose front legs and huge antennae. Crawfish are highly prized by the French and the Spanish but often get confused with American crayfish in the UK, which are much smaller and not as tasty. Crawfish is a very decadent meat and therefore is more expensive than lobster.
Our whole Cornish crawfish are mainly caught by the local netting fleet when they are working deep waters off the Isles of Scilly during the summer and autumn months. Crawfish are ‘rested’ in our sea tanks for at least 24-hours before despatch. We only buy crawfish from the South Western Approaches.
Cook live crawfish immediately on delivery and eat within three days. Only strong crawfish will be despatched live. However, we cannot guarantee survival and they are sent at the customer’s own risk. Any crawfish that don’t arrive live are still safe to cook and consume. When ordering cooked crawfish store at 0-5°C and consume within two days. If freezing, please follow your freezer manufacturer’s instructions. All items are sold as approximate and pre-cooked weight, some cook loss will occur.
Weather, tides, seasonality and catch numbers can affect availability.
