so now we're going to demonstrate how to
clean and peel a crawfish tail for
eating
and these have already been cooked and a
good thing to look for on crawfish is
that the tails have actually curled
under after they've been boiled
which means that they were actually
alive when they were boiled if the tail
was straight out like this
we don't want to eat those because that
crawfish was dead before it was boiled
so we're going to separate the tail from
the head so we're just going to peel off
the top part of the head and the tail
comes off just like so
and then what we want to do is just take
the first couple of rings off
of the tail this way then we're going to
pinch the base of the tail
and gently pull on the meat and that
pops out of there just like that
and that is a peeled crawfish tail
