- In this video we do some hunting/gathering for wild food by catching invasive swamp crayfish and cooking them in a crawfish boil. My kids loved catching them but thought the boil was spicy.
"NO I DON'T" *aggressively shoves in more* 🤣
LOVE seeing you spend absolute QUALITY time with your kids & teaching them new experiences!!
I agree! In the future they will all look back on these special moments and it will really mean a lot to them!
So true. God bless the family.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ruby gulping that tail meat down so fast the heat didn't kick in until she was done. Walking off crying for water. Oh man that was just wonderful. It was wonderful seeing all your kids at least trying things, even if they didn't like it for various reasons. How blessed. Your kids are going to be well prepared for anything to come. Now, did Ms. Woods try some? She was inconspicuously missing. 😂 Thanks so much for sharing this moment with us.
All I’m going to say is…CRAYFISH!!!
You are a great Dad, Shawn. Your children are precious. 👍👍👍
Love when you bring your family into your videos, been following since you had less than 1000 subscribers, great to see how much everyone's grown!
Invasive corn, invasive potatoes, invasive sausage, invasive garlic. I'm getting an invasive cheese burger!
Brings back child hood memories; I used to tie a piece of a hotdog to a hook and attach the hook to a string to go fishing for Crawdads, Crayfish, Crawfish..whatever you call it in your region! lol! They would grab the meat and hook and I would pull them out the hole real quick. My dad said not to eat them unless we were ever starving and that's all we had. Grew up to learn that they are kind of toxic and that's why you need to cook them so thoroughly. I wont eat them, and never feed them to dogs. It was just always fun and sport to see how big of one I could get to come out of that little hole for any kind of meat bait. Once you catch a big one its just a Mud Lobster at that point. Lol!
When I was a kid, I also loved catching crayfish in a nearby pond, just for the sake of catching them! One time, I decided to keep one as a pet. I fed him tropical fish flakes, which he loved. In fact, within a few days, he had shed his skin, because that flake food made him grow so fast. I had to release him back into the pond a week later, though. It turns out, crayfish dirty up their water really fast. I had him in a plastic tub of water, not in an aquarium, and it was just too much work to change the water multiple times a day. If you want to keep them as a pet, you need a really good filtration system.
props to cuphead for giving crawdads the spotlight
You have a beautiful family Shawn and I am so proud you are getting your children into the outdoors and simple skills that provide so much joy in life like Fishing and Crawdad gathering. I have been watching for years and never get tired of your channel. Thanks and God Bless!!
Right on brother.
When I was a teenager, we lived just outside of Chicago, we had a flood lake behind our house in an open field. (There was no like there until heavy rains came and created it. It made an excellent 'Skating Rink' in the winter, as well as a rather shallow lake in the summers. We uses to go there and load up on crawdads and take them home to boil. Loved them little Lobsters!!!
What a lovely video, your kids are adorable.
My goodness Shawn, your creativity and children are beyond anything else on the internet. Good job catching and cooking that unique critter.
Hello from Louisiana! I enjoyed your video. Many (not everyone) will purge them in salt water before cooking. One hint for peeling: after removing the tail, remove the segment of shell that was closest to the body, grab the exposed meat with your teeth, pinch the tail near the fin to release the meat, and pull the shell away.
You can catch more using crawfish nets that lay flat on the bottom and have a wire frame above.
Thanks for the videos!
Awesome!
My brothers family from Louisiana got us into craw boils. It's a fun food for family gatherings. Tedious to stuff yourself with, but great for snacking and chatting!
Family time is precious. Your blessed
Should I have children in the future, I asspire to be even half the parents you are. Awesome job!
All your kids are cute but clementine is just adorable
Absolutely the best way to put a small dent into the invasive species population. I’m a big fan of cooking them this way!
Your kids are so cute.
The dog wants some too. Lol
Ate many crawdads in my youth but we didn't add a lot of spice. We thought they were delicious if we had lemon and butter. Thanks for making my mouth water; wish I could come for dinner!
It's fun to see the activities your family enjoys!
Okay your family is adorable.
If you folks ever do another crawfish boil, I would like to suggest adding mushrooms! They’re super delicious!
Literally the most important part of the boil
@@S0L12D3 that they are!

Love those kids. Great video. Move to rumble. 👍
Beautiful family.
I remember a couple of years ago of the video you put where your wife got into a pretty gnarly car crash. Happy the family is healthy and alive. Many blessings 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love it! Always need your pearls on when catching crawdads in mud! 😁🤣🥰 they are so cute.
What a family. Beautiful. God bless.
Absolutely charming video, Shawn. Next week: Shawn's kids go out lassoing longhorn cattle for dinner 😁
I'd like to see that!
How much y'all bet someone is going to be like "Oh He Is kIlIiNg pOoR aNiMaLs". Even though he said that they are invasive species
Thumbnail caught my attention. Cheers!
As a southerner from an area where crawfish boils are advertised from freeway billboards seeing this warms my heart. I used to not like spicy food, but I always loved the spice, flavor, and texture of crawfish. Shoot, I remember catching crawfish when I was their age, good times on the farm I tell ya what!
Ruby is funny!
Awesome family
I love wholesome content 👌
The crawfish are terribly small in Florida, but Florida has all kinds of exotic invasive animals and I am hoping yabbies will end up here soon 😜
It’s illegal to raise yabbies in even the coldest parts of Florida except in tanks - no ponds! Or so I learned when I was curious about them…
Those are my wife’s favorite seafood.
Great stuff. Ruby is a trooper 🤣👍🏻
Very healthy family. Amazing!
Great vid Shawn! Thanks for sharing
Ruby is such a mood
Great video. Great family.
You are a good Dad Shawn.
Awesome family! Enjoy them!
What a fun family video. Too bad the kids are not fans of spicy food.
May God bless your kids.
LOL The dog wagging its tail behind Sterling made me laugh, it looked like Sterling had a tail. Glad to see you enjoy time with your family, and teaching the kids new skills.
You all are awesome!!

Reminded me of a vacation I had to New Orleans many decades ago. We ate at a BIG restaurant, big enough to seat around 700 people, which sadly has since closed. I chowed down a big plate of crayfish already prepared to eat with a fork. I had a good appetite, and I had never had them before. I loved it!! Perfectly spicy, so I ate everything on my plate, however I don't think I would want to go through trying to prepare it without a professional chef's help.
When you eat crawdads almost remember give ‘em a little twist!!
i only eat them with this special sauce, it’s mayo ketchup lemon juice and horseradish…. so cute you’re trying new things w your kids!
@3:36 your son is so happy eating them it looks like his tail is wagging!
Clementine know how to get it done Ruby is tearing it up. Carson and Sterling are growing into fine young men
That looks fun catching
Nice catch, clean and cook Shawn!
Great video, great family. You’re doing life right big guy
Another great video 😊
Beautiful family. You're blessed.
Muddy Red Swamp Crawdads post a Crawtube video about invasive 2 legged giants catching, cooking and eating them.
What a nice change of pace
Great job guys here in Australia we have red claw yabbies an it’s amazing how much children love a good little fishing expedition it’s great family love. 😊
Having lived in Louisiana for a large part of my adult life, I love crawfish!. I appreciate how you got the kids involved. Looks like the dog was interesting in helping too.
Great video and content 👍 I love that you make videos with your family
Nice job with the catch and cook.
YOU GOT ONE NICE LITTLE FAMILY THERE " -- FANTASTIC LITTLE VIDEO " -- I LAUGHED AT THE BIGGER BROTHER WHO FASTLY PUT THAT BIT SAUSAGE BACK IN FRONT OF FUNNY FACE -- LOL .
Do not caps. That's not nice or aproppriate.
Great video! Beautiful family!
We love low country boils down in FL! 😋
Looks really good!
Great video! This brings back some great memories of my friend Kevin and myself catching Crawdads from the creek by my house in southern Indiana when we were 10-11 years old. We never ate any of them we just caught them and played with them and put them back in the creek. We called them Crawdads but some people call them Crayfish or Crawfish.
Very cool hunt and cook ;)
I love catching crawfish, there so delicious
I've never had crawfish, though I've had lobster, which is one of my favorite seafoods. I wonder how the two compare, seeing as the only real differences between the two are that crawfish are smaller and live in freshwater. It's great that you're able to catch your dinner wild! It looked absolutely mouth-watering!
Come on down to Louisiana. It’s a way of life down here..
@@sstevocamaro The food would be tempting (not only for the crawfish, but for the gator, which is one of my favorites), but the climate would kill me. I have a condition that makes temperatures feel 12 degrees warmer to me than they feel to most people. Maybe I could visit in the winter...
Crayfish boils are a big tradition as you mentioned here in the South. I'm in Arkansas and we get them by the 80lb sacks and invite everyone
Lovely video
Reminds me so much of going out fishing with my dad and eating them for dinner right after, good memories. c,:
Cute kids
Super fun 😁👍
You need about 39 more pounds of bugs there, padna! Lol. Not a bad little snack. Down here, that'll barely wet my whistle! Cajun land IS the best seasoning tho! Get you some traps and nets to put in that pond and launch a pirogue and spend a couple hours to fill that ice chest up and THEN have a feast!
Really great . Great channel. Cheers X
Good work.
Kudos to the kids. So brave.
i got pretty sick once by cooking and eating them without taking the guts out before cooking. now i always twist the tailfin and pull the guts out before cooking. you called it the poop shute. hahaha
I've lived in Louisiana for 60+ years. Everyone I know cooks them whole unless they're being fried or put in a recipe. Maybe you got a bad one. If the tail isn't curled up under the body, the crawfish was probably dead and possibly spoiled before boiling.
That's some good eats! 😋
Could you show the native next to the invasive species? Thanks!
0:16 That is making me hungry!
If you purge them for a day or two in fresh clean water they will taste even better
thats what i said
last time i went camping with my friends and their kids we had a creek close by that was loaded with them and i told all the kids i would give them a dollar for every crawfish they caught. they were busy all day and they all came back with buckets full and we boiled and ate them just like you did. i gave them all $20 each for their hard work and we all had a great dinner. i taught them all how to clean and cook them. they never ate them before and they all loved eating them.
That looks awesome & I haven't them sents the cov-19 hit . I'm going to get some & I'm not from south eather I'm a Midwest boy love it
Great video man
Wholesome video
we occasionally call them crawdads in Mississippi, they also go by crayfish. but when it's a boil, it seems like it's always crawfish haha
Cute kids! They are brave to pick up the live crawfish by themselves. Very good!
I've not had a crawfish boil for 2 years. Have to get some soon.
Your kids had wonderful expressions when they tried to eat them.
I really miss eating crawdad bowls.
How dem mud bugs crawl to north California Shawn. I had some missin from the swamp by my house
""These taste much better than RAT." - Ruby [probably]
Old Bay seasoning is used down south and out east a lot for these boils
Very nice.
LOL, I felt the same way about pepper soup as your kids did about the crawdads: too hot, but too tasty to stop~😅😂🌶🔥
Bruh Shawn out here livin the real life
They are called many different things in Louisiana and they are absolutely delicious
what a delicious way to have to save the ecosystem! i think about wanting to eat crawdaddies all the time, may need to fly to them when the season is on.
Mmmmmm love em . i had a uncle that cought them and fattened them up in a cage for 4th of july Mmmmm good 👍🏼. good job Dad😊. do have you ever had fresh water clams ? they look like little razor clams . our creek is full of them
