How to eat crayfish?

Crayfish has soft meat and delicious flavor, and is a popular food on the table. In addition, crayfish also contains high-quality protein, astaxanthin, vitamins and other nutrients that are beneficial to the human body, so many people like to eat crayfish to satisfy their cravings. But many people also have a headache about crayfish, because although crayfish have a lot of meat, their shell is very hard and can prick your hand if you are not careful. In order to let everyone enjoy the delicious crayfish comfortably, today I will teach you how to eat crayfish.

How to eat crayfish:

Step 1: After washing your hands, peel off the shrimp claws with your hands, twist them open along the joint at the end of the claws, and eat the shrimp meat first.

Step 2: Then use a tool such as a nutcracker to open the shrimp claws and eat the shrimp meat inside the claws.

Step 3: Hold the shrimp body with one hand and the shrimp head with the other hand, and gently twist it to separate the shrimp head from the body.

Step 4: Twist the shrimp tail again to make it easier to peel the shell later.

Step 5: Peel the shrimp tail along the belly and pull out the shrimp meat before serving.

How to peel crayfish:

1. Grab the head with one hand and the tail with the other.

2. Twist it in opposite directions with both hands until it breaks into two pieces.

3. Pinch the side of the tail and apply gentle force until you hear the shell break, then peel off a small section of the shell on the back to expose the meat inside.

4. Hold the tail with one hand and pinch the meat with the other hand to pull it out of the shell. If the meat breaks, peel off the remaining shell.

5. Now, let’s eat. Here's a rule of thumb: don't be quick to throw away the crayfish's head. There's a delicious sauce on it that you can suck on. Alternatively, you can use your teeth to bite the meat out of the crayfish instead of using your hands.
