Poaching...

[DRINK?]

I remember Hugh FW caught a fish & kept it in a box with running water going through it for ages once.

lake caught carp which would be more silty than anything from a river I'd have thought

which you're not supposed to do at all according to the EA.

How about you try & post on this thread without referring to them.

Why?

Ignoring them and guidelines is what does damage to rivers and stocks of fish.

(I'm not on about poaching, just ignoring the EA completely is fucking stupid unless you actually DO know better)

Crayfish have bacteria in their gut that is harmful to humans, as most people don't eat the guts of crayfish, it would be rare that any harm would come from not flushing them. Only in the case that one boils the scraps left over for stock would the bacteria come into play.

If you are fastidious like me though, you will put them into a big fish tank and feed them potato peels for a week before boiling them up for a meal.

Can I really catch them using only bacon rind and a piece of string?

Grass carp. They taste "pond-slimey".

Used to work on a concrete factory where they were always poaching Crayfish.

Worse thing is the sadistic way they cooked them: Throwing them on Fire live, and or boiling them in water.

If you're fussy, you can drive a knitting needle under the exo-skeleton into the brain, but dropping them in boiling water kills them in about 2 seconds.

Talking to a chef recentely, who reckons you can kill Lobsters succesfully by putting them in cold water, probably unsalted.

It's not particularly humane. It takes them about 15 minutes to die

Heard you can sell them to Chinese Restuarants, but this is probably an urban myth.

The taste and the amount of meat on them you are probably better off using them as bait for fishing!

You can get about the same amount of flesh from an American Signal Crayfish as you can from your average langoustine.

Never bothered to soak them in water, never done us any harm or do they taste of silt....the only thing we always do is take the poo pipe out

We cook them in a big ol tea urn and just tip them into the boiling water, cruel I don't know, depends who you listen to humane or barbaric according to different people...

A lot of people are squeamish about the boiling water because of the old mistake of thinking that the sound of air escaping from under the exo-skeleton is the crayfish/lobster/langoustine "screaming".
