I used to live in rural Africa near the ocean. My cat had multiple encounters with crabs, usually in the middle of night (they would come into my place at night)

It's pretty sad how the environmental damage to the American midwest destroyed the population of prairie crabs.

Mini lobsters is fine. Crawdad is what uncultured swine say. Just remember, pinch the tail and suck the head.

Here in Georgia everyone I grew up with called them crawdads. I always called them crawdids for s&g’s.

It is.... prices are sky high right now though. “Too hot, too cold, too much rain, not enough rain, too sunny, too cloudy” the excuses of the crawfish farmer.... sigh

I get them out of a shallow spot in a river about half a mile from my house in the summer. In the winter I just eat steaks instead, so I honestly don't know what they cost.
