Crayfish have just recently become available in my market. I've had
them twice now. They're tasty little critters. The first batch came
from China and although they didn't kill me I swore off them after
all the recent bad press. The second batch came from Thailand so
they were probably wholesome. And they only cost twice as much as
Dave Drum said they should!

BTW the colder the water the smaller the crayfish; I could harvest
my own for free but it isn't worth the effort. They are less than
1/8 the size of the frozen Thai ones.

They'd probably sub for shrimp nicely in this:
