Thread: Is cray fish overrated or am I cooking it wrong?

I do that with any loose legs. Drop them in hot water for thirty seconds so the meat comes away from the shell. Then eat raw. Very nice

Legs are best. Tail is certainly second place.

I can't say a time for cooking, I just go by color change and bubbles on the surface.
6 mins seems to long, but would depend on pot and size of cray. Under cooked is way better than over cooked.
In fact a quick blance to get the shell off is enough....
