They are kind of like eating pecans. They are about as much work to peel and eat as the amount of nutrition that you get. Seriously, they are very good.

They look like little shrimp or small lobsters. You boil them in a crawdad boil mixture and cook new potatoes and small corn and onions in there,too. When all is done, they dip it out and dump it on newspapers on a table. You stand and peel the crawdads and eat the corn and new potatoes with your hands.

To peel the shrimp, you crack them open just below the head, so that you only have the tail in your hand. Then you pull off the little feet and then spread it open to reveal the meat going down the tail. You can also suck the brains and boil water from the head of the shell.

Very good. But it takes a long time to get full.
