This freshwater crustacean looks like a small Lobster – averaging 10cm long and weighing roughly 50 grams.

The tail meat is succulent with a Prawn-like texture and a lovely sweet taste.

Most popular way to serve is in a salad as a starter. Peeled Crayfish tails in brine have become very popular over the last few years.

Crayfish can be sourced from many different lakes and rivers all over the UK.
