Yabby in my pond

[Aussieponder]

So yeah, for the second time, I have a yabby (crayfish) in my pond. Does it have to go? Any thoughts on how to stop them getting in. They seem to be particularly good climbers.

You must be quite close to a natural waterway.

Wow really? They're walking over? I guess you need to trap them when they come over. The traps aren't expensive to get.

He looks delicious... now you just need him to bring about 20 or 30 of his friends!

Cute little feller!

Only a few more to catch and you're on your way....

 

[Faebinder]

How do you eat crawfish... I mean seriously... how do you deshell the thing to eat it. Seems like it has very little meat to eat.

 

[tbendl]

Pull of the heads, pinch the tails and eat the meat. Yeah there isn't very much meat but between that, the andouille sausage, potatos, garlic, mushrooms, and corn, it's pretty darn tasty!

It's funny you make them with corn and sausage here they make them with corn and potato's only .No garlic or mushrooms either .My neighbor has a boat and they cook them outside over a fire .

 

[tbendl]

I love the garlic! It's my favorite part of the boil. They throw all kinds of stuff in them, even brussel sprouts, (which are tiny evil shrunken lettuce heads) and some people make them with pineapple. I guess it's a whatever floats their boat kinda thing.

 

[sissy]

Brussel sprouts are mini cabbage and I love them .

 

[tbendl]

Lol

 

[sissy]

Oh gosh they are good for you and I even put them in my salad uncooked YUMMY YUMMY in my TUMMY

 

[tbendl]

Good, you can have all of mine then.

I grow them so I have fresh and they are better after a frost it makes them sweeter tasting .Ialways grew them in NJ and they were my go to snack .Hubby even likes them .
