Crayfish 🦞 fishing in the United States (II)

How to deal with it

Because most parts of the United States prohibit the transportation of live crayfish, some places even clearly stipulate that the caught crayfish should be immediately headed, plus the crayfish head is easy to accumulate heavy metals and other pollutants, so the baby monkey generally goes to the head on the spot and puts the tail on ice to bring back to burn.

In addition to removing the head and cleaning, there is also a technical job is to remove the gut, and the little monkey shares with you a quick gut removal method: grab the middle piece of the crayfish's tail, twist it 180 degrees and then pull it out, and the gut line will come out with it. See the video for details:

As for the last step to cook the crayfish, whether it is spicy or green onion and ginger depends on your taste!

Relevant regulations

The most inconvenient thing about living in the United States is that each of the fifty states has its own laws and regulations, and no matter what you want to do, you need to check the local regulations first. But don't worry, the live Lei Feng monkey has given you a concise information sheet for catching crayfish in each state for reference. For more details, please read your state's fishing regulations.

Little monkey tips

1. The states not listed below have no regulations for crayfish fishing (at least not for monkeys).

2. Each state has different regulations from year to year, so please check the latest version.

3. In most states, minors under the age of 16 do not need a fishing license to fish for crayfish.

4. Different regions (even different rivers and lakes) and different times may have different regulations.

5. Waters that cross state boundaries may have different rules than those within the state.

6. Most states do not allow the transport of live crayfish, especially non-native species, and many places also specify that crayfish caught need to be headed.
