Funny, in Sweden it's too early, which reminds me:
>Crawfish boiled in beer and dill, served with a savory cheese pie.

Oh that sounds lovely

I've only ever had a Louisiana crawfish boil and and crawfish etouffe. Both extremely good imo. I don't think I'd eat a crawfish boil outside of the ameri CC an south though. It just wouldn't be as good.
Etouffe can be pretty good with the frozen crawfish though

How do you even eat this? Its too small to pull the meat out of the shell like you do with lobsters but the shell is also too hard to be eatten whole. It also to small to properly remove its guts and organs

>guts included

friend mentioned a family crawfish boil and i jokingly asked her to save me one. she said she will and it's "with dill" some swedish style, i've never had that. we'll see if it's better than spicy lemon.

You pull off the tail, and then pinch the end of the tail and can pull out the meat from the top. Once you get the technique down you can go through them fast.
And Anon is right, a lot of people will suck out the inside of the head after you pull off the tail, but I never cared for it

Have you ever had heart, liver or stomach from beer? It's delicious.
