Crayfish tips:

  • The treatment of crayfish can be chosen according to personal preference, some people like to cut the pincers and tail, and some people like to keep the whole one. Cutting the pincers and tail makes the crayfish easier to taste, and keeping the whole one makes the crayfish more chewy.
  • The taste of the sauce can be adjusted according to personal preferences, some people like spicy and heavy, others like sweet and sour refreshing. The spicy and heavy mouth can increase the irritation and appetite of crayfish, and the sweet and sour refreshing can increase the refreshing and greasy effect of crayfish.
  • Do not cook crayfish for too long, otherwise they will lose their tenderness and nutrients.

Crayfish should be eaten hot, as cooling will affect the taste and flavor.
