| | Crayfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The boil is typically flavored with salt, sugar, and the flowers of the dill plant. | | | There are three families of crayfish, two in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere. | | | Crayfish are also used as fishing bait and as live food for larger species of aquarium fish, oscars, for example. |

| | Flavored only with salt, boiled crayfish are ready to use in dips, cocktails, and salads or in general recipes, the same as you would use boiled shrimp, crab, or lobster meat. | | | Inside the head of the crayfish on either side are two pockets of a substance called the "butter." It is brilliant yellow or orange in color and, used in recipes calling for butter, improves both appearance and flavor. | | | The writer is partial to the following recipe for spiced crayfish: Combine one gallon of water, one cup salt, and one-half cup wine vinegar; add one-half cup pickling spices in a cheese cloth bag. |

| | Crayfish |
| | Crayfish are principally vegetarian and will survive well on a diet of waterweed and almost any thinly cut vegetables such as pumpkin, potato, celery (including leaves), and apples and other fruits. | | | Crayfish are, however, opportunistic omnivores, which means they can eat almost anything including meat. | | | Crayfish only have a small stomach and will stop eating when full, leaving the remainder of the food. |
