pegleg33 134 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Not sure about the license, but you really need to purge them before eating them :sick: goodluck with the shits Quote Link to post

bell 3,591 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 : what do you mean by purge them Purge them means to leave them in water for a day with no food so they shit everything out............however with crayfish when you take the tail meat out you will see a tube running down the tail which is black if it has shite in it and you can just pull it off. Ive eaten hundreds of them like this...........oh and you do need a licence......alledgedly Quote Link to post

rascal_2005 79 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 how long do you cook for? Quote Link to post
"Earth!" 503 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 how long do you cook for? only takes a couple of mins. simple drop into 'boiling' water and remove when they turn a deep orange. Quote Link to post
rascal_2005 79 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 sounds good to me!! if there in a muddy/siltty lake would they still be ok to eat after being purged?? also would they be ok in a bucket of tap water for 24 hours? Quote Link to post
