Post by: rahmanjoy on August 06, 2011, 11:27:12 PM

This small cray fish I caught near North Arm Fraser (Burnaby). It was full of worms. Look closely.

Cool.....that's a big un. I see the worms you're talking about. Our grandpa used to take us crayfishing on the Saskatchewan when we were kids. The older crayfish pick up a lot of nematode hitchhikers on their shells. They usually lose them when they molt but the old ones keep their shells and their hitchhikers. Looks gross but grandpa just brushed them off before throwing the crayfish in the pot. They're not in the flesh so okay to eat (never raw though, tapes and flukes).

I've never caught a crayfish that didn't have some sort of worms on em. Never seen that type though.
Just brush em off and throw em in the pot and wait till they scream and turn red and float to the top, usually 5 mins or so in boiling water.
They taste good.
