Great video as always. I was making sausage this evening and a certain person's voice was in my head: "keep everything cold/ get in and mix by hand". Can't pay a higher compliment than to thank you for teaching me.
Thank you for the tips on how to prepare crayfish. I'm in the states and am learning how to hunt for a species that is already invasive, and free for the taking as well.
SRP, that looks amazing. Growing up in the Midwest in the USA we grew up eating tons of crawfish. We made them in a boil but what you made may have to hit my kitchen sooner rather than later!!
The top shelf of my freezer is full of gallon bags of half-cooked crawfish. I've been wanting to start using them up (girlfriend doesn't like when I smell up the house with the traditional crawfish boil smells). And, she doesn't like crawfish (she doesn't *think* she likes crawfish) but she loves anything with pasta. This might be the answer. Thanks, Scott!
I agree with the others. I’ve heard of bisque but I’m not really sure what it exactly is. I’m always eager to learn how to cook (and eat) new food. You make cooking new foods less scary! Your layer back way of creating good looking foods is definitely unique. Don’t ever change that. Love you for what you do. God bless.👍❤️🦋🇨🇦
Me and my girlfriend followed your video on butchering a deer the other day. We did the job on the towpath next to our boat lol. We didnt have much choice where we did it, but we had a lot of positive reactions and comments. Thanks for your videos. 👍👍👍👍
NO worries Scott. We have similar problems with the Carp that was brought in in the 1860s and never left. The Lamb prey destroying the great lakes, Asian Carp all monsters. I wish I could help you but in the mean time enjoy the meal. Great cook Scott. Always s enjoy when you cook. Crawdads are good fair.

yup, we've all put the wrong animals in the wrong place, best to eat them.
I cannot resist making this tonight (currently 5pm here on Costa del Sol.) Only difference being is that I will be using Langostines "caught" here in the local supermarket. Oh, and I'll be making my own Linguini, 1 egg, 100gms flour, pinch of sea salt, job done (by machine.)
Great idea for a video. I coincidentally just started catching crawfish this Summer. But the ones we catch in Maryland look NOTHING like what you're managing to pick up. Still tasty, just not as massive. Those are gorgeous. Thanks for doing your part to tame invasive species. We've got similar problems with foreign crawfish here too.
I use to catch crayfish out of the stream by my house and I've never seen any that big. Awesome video. Only thing you're missing out on is sucking the good juices out of the crayfish's head.
did you try to pull center fin on the bottom out? If you do the poop line should come out all together. Sure you know that cuz you are amazing cook/butcher
Scott thanks what a catch 👏 u should start selling these in in the butchers shop don't know if the local fishmonger will be happy be least you will be doing a good service to our rivers👍. Had to laugh when you said we should treat them with respect after you had just pulled the intestines out of two of them while alive 😂. Didn't bother me just found it funny but sure someone will be offended?
Be sure to cook the pasta in the same water / court bouillon in which you cooked the crayfish! Then reserve that water, adding more, to cook the shells to make a bisque.
So whenever we have really really really small ones we boil them in water with a lot of old bay until the shell is soft. And then eat them whole. It’s not for everyone but it’s got a nice flavor and a bit of a crunch
Loving it. Id love to get some more info on how to get out and catch some for yourself. Im in Scotland and have no idea! Also do they even live up here!? Probably but who knows. Any info would help, always loving your work
We don't have the American ones here in Ireland just the white therefore crayfishing here is illegal. I wish it wasn't because I tasted crayfish while in Poland and think it's better than lobster! Thanks Scott for making me hungry! :D
Whenever Brits and Cajuns get together, usually in a military jpint exercisel it ends in a jaw bustin contest and a tag team donnybrook. It starts of with a Brit innocently enough calling a cajun a Yank, and then the fight is on. I tell yo.

I presume you know England and the UK aren't the same place? The fuckwit Trump has been known to make that mistake.
5 ปีที่แล้ว
I can't work out if that is racist and if so who is offended. Cajuns aren't known for their intelligence after all.
You can purge them before you cook them. By placing them in salt water while their still alive. It will cause them to throw up all the gritty stuff they’ve recently ate. We usually purge them twice before we cook them. You’ll enjoy them more nice and clean.
Did you (Scott or anyone that knows) ever do the big reveal on the finished chopping block? I don’t do all the facebook or twitter and I didn’t remember seeing the finished block with the inlay and everything.
Love these vids. Especially the Crayfish ones. Is there a better time of year to catch Scott? Possible in winter months? Need to find a decent spot. Keep up the great work!
I would gladly do my part to assist the UK in reclaiming/cleaning their fresh water ecology :) Send some of those bugs here please. I have garlic butter waiting....
Oh yeah and I saw another comment on purging the crawfish, you can put them through some really salty water baths and it makes them puke and poo themselves clean. Just put some fresh water in there as it dirties up. I’m sure there’s videos on it.

small amount of oats or similar grain that can dissolve in water also works as a purge
I would leave out the red pepper, add cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and red bell peppers, drop the basalmic and add a dash of tobasco or louisiana hot sauce.
That took me straight back to being a kid. Where I grew up on the east coast of the US, folks would just boil them by the side of the stream and have a bit of a picnic. They are a terribly invasive species that can thrive in anything from freshwater to sewage. I can't ever recall finding any that big. They're obviously lacking predators over there, I hope liberal trapping is enough to keep them from completely taking over.
You. Are. A. Legend SEMPER FI!! THE FREAKING GREATEST FIELD TO FORK CHEF EVER TO LIVE!!

way to go, just pasta it up :)
"You don't want to crowd the pan with crayfish."
I respectfully disagree.

A very tasty looking dish. Lovin' the SRP baby, yeah!
Man, how cool would it be to see you do a series where you do a food tour of North America.
It would certainly be interesting, I'm not sure USA-ians will understand Scott's humour
Wm Tarr ive gotten a few people to subscribe. We’re not all hopeless over here lol.
@@bldeagle10 I know not all americans are stupid, I have family and ex-girlfriends there, just most that voted, it seems. You sound like a good person
I always get hungry watching this bloke .Great stuff mate

Since watching you 1st cray fish video scot I now own 2 traps and trap every weekend. I make a south Louisiana style boil and it works a treat
Cracking video,I love the crayfish ones......not only are you getting free protein, you're helping the environment too 👍👍

Delicious looking. Great crayfish!
That is a nice dish, and a species that needs to be harvested, perfect really. Rock on Scott.
Show us how to make crayfish bisque in your next video

Great traditional British meal!
It's a wonderful video. We can learn a lot n a lot
hi from across the pond! wonderful dish!!
You are a cool person, Mr. Rea,I enjoy watching your videos
did you try to pull center fin on the bottom out? If you do the poop line should come out all together. Sure you know that cuz you are amazing cook/butcher

Yes, there will be someone...😎
Are our European Friends across the pond as sensitive as the New Age Americans?
@@B-real85 Erm, yes. The ones with beards who shout about vegetable rights and peace can be a bit annoying. And the men are even worse!
great! i like that watch on the thumbnail.
Well... At least the crayfish struck back. Yum! 😋 Love your videos Mr. Rea, keep up the good work.
Nice job, very tasty, thanks 👍
Do you take the intestinal tract out by twisting and pulling the tail section out with all the nasty bits in ?
Here in Oregon these are the natives and the Louisiana mud bugs are the invasive..
Quite yummy both I say.
Excellent tutorial, great video!
Be sure to cook the pasta in the same water / court bouillon in which you cooked the crayfish! Then reserve that water, adding more, to cook the shells to make a bisque.
Exactly! I was gonna say that. I boil the heads and shells in the same water, strain and then boil the pasta. [I also prefer angel hair for this dish]
Looks sooooo good....!
Pleased you mentioned not to chuck away the shells/heads - there's a ton of flavour in there!
Thumbs up! But.... I always let go at random a few of whatever I catch. Don't know why, but I think it's a good thing to do.
So whenever we have really really really small ones we boil them in water with a lot of old bay until the shell is soft. And then eat them whole. It’s not for everyone but it’s got a nice flavor and a bit of a crunch
No crawfish broil seasoning? Aww man you need to get some. It kicks it up to a whole new level of delicious
Ahhh. The Ol' Scott Rea is back!
another amazing video scott
Cheers Brad..
Loving it. Id love to get some more info on how to get out and catch some for yourself. Im in Scotland and have no idea! Also do they even live up here!? Probably but who knows. Any info would help, always loving your work
Here you go Christopher - map included: foragedfoods.co.uk/how-to-catch-signal-crayfish/
Do you not need to purge them in clean water for a a few hours if you remove the poo sack?
We don't have the American ones here in Ireland just the white therefore crayfishing here is illegal. I wish it wasn't because I tasted crayfish while in Poland and think it's better than lobster! Thanks Scott for making me hungry! :D
Awesome awesome awesome
what did you use to bait the crayfish, freshwater lobster.
Wow, i gota get out and try this.
Wow.
could u use this like a scampi ?
Looks GOOD.
Kung fu fighting fast as lightning... your intro tune reminds me of that song..
Led Zep whats not to like...?
All day long my friend.🤘😎
Crocs....
They look identical to the native Australian fresh water yabby. Good recipe
yabby's are native, these crayfish were introduced
What time of the year is the best time of the year to catch crayfish please
Invite a few Cajuns over to England, problem solved.
There's a off colour joke that I won't make
John Stacy Ha fucking Ha

That looks amazing!!!
Also I'm confused as to why you removed all the good bits from the mud bugs..? And the head has more good bits..
Looks great mate.
Just brilliant
lucky bastard! we don't get that lucky in the states! they should sell those at ur local pubs as bar food with a cajun twist
Lordy, I wish we had crawdads that big here.
Luv the T shirt,,,,,,ACE............
loverly
What bait did you use mate?
Oh yeah truly so wonderful video and a good idea -- greetings
Here in the US, we typically purge them by submerging the live crayfish in salty, clean water so that they clean themselves out off all the waste.
I’ve been watching you for about 3 years now and you never disappoint. Keep it up SRP 👍🏻
Love the video, the food looks sooooooo good. I subscribed
Thick. Question. Just streams or do rivers have theses also?
You don't purge your crayfish?
Thank you.
We suck the head down here in the South. Of course we use a Cajun spice shrimp boil mix to season.
Great video nice to see you cooking them crayfish
>:0))))
Did you (Scott or anyone that knows) ever do the big reveal on the finished chopping block? I don’t do all the facebook or twitter and I didn’t remember seeing the finished block with the inlay and everything.
What bait did you have in the pot Scott?
Chicken wings Steve.
I like the seafood episodes. Can you do a stargazy pie?
Add sugar to bring out the natural sweetness?
White claws are endangered and protected in Ireland. I don't think Signals are here. So where does one go for crawfish fettuccine? I have no idea/
What river is that Scott the water looks so clear
A state secret Al..
Where are you setting you’re traps??
Love these vids. Especially the Crayfish ones. Is there a better time of year to catch Scott? Possible in winter months? Need to find a decent spot. Keep up the great work!
Where did you get the trap please? Thanks
Nice stove
A nutcracker works well for the claws
What species of crayfish are they?

"One of the beauties of this dish is that it's so quick to prepare." Step 1.: Apply to the Environment Agency for a Crayfish trapping Licence.... :)
Butter in boil makes them really easy to peel=)
How did the American crawfish get in the streams in England?
That’s what I was thinking.
nice Tiny Tiny plate full there mate...
21:35 YES!
Cajun staple. I know you like your sausage, so look up crawfish boudin. Or just regular cajun boudin.
That took me straight back to being a kid. Where I grew up on the east coast of the US, folks would just boil them by the side of the stream and have a bit of a picnic. They are a terribly invasive species that can thrive in anything from freshwater to sewage.

Crayfish Mac n Cheezz?
OH wow i created a new youtube account a few months ago and totally forgot about your channel, subbing on this account as well.
Why didn’t he purge them
