What do you call them?

I call them DEE-LICIOUS

Sometimes i think i am adopted because for someone born and raised in New York I sure do love the Southern (especially cajun) food.

Where I am from, we call them Crawfish.. most likely due to the fact that we have a Crawfish Festival every year in one of the city parks. (Tualatin, OR).

you fergot Mudbugs

roflmao, Vor.

I thought mudbug as soon as I saw the question.

And around here you hear mudbug, crawfish, and crawdad. It depends on who's talking and what you are talking about. People won't admit eating mudbugs, they'll call them crawfish when they mean food.

hehe.

i grew up calling them Crayfish. Which is incidentally what they are referred to in scientific literature as well. I dont say that to act all snooty, because common names (Crayfish, Crawfish) dont mean jack and they vary regionally.

cool poll imo =)

How about an "All seafood/fishy stuff is not worth naming" option.

Fish is the yucks. I hold my breath when I walk past the butcher area of the grocery store because of the smell. Just to be fair I tried some supposedly great shrimp when we went out for Japanese Teppanyaki last night and it was still the nastiest thing I've ever tasted.

However I do like any non fishy Teppanyaki

The only seafood I like is tuna, and only if it's in tuna salad form. Everything else is nasty.

Crawfish
or
Sushi

*hugs VV'ers*

I like fish only if it's fresh or frozen properly to keep it from stinking like a crack whore's snatch.

One of my folks' best friends is a fisherman here. Talk about fresh, some of the fish are still gasping when we fillet them!

you should have come to some of the lobster grill outs me and my buddies used to do. the tails would literally twitch as i applied marinade to them on the grill.

mmmmmm

Vetiria: tuna salad? that is fucking cat food

The only seafood that really turns my stomach is oysters and clams.. i prefer my fsh cooked also so sushi is right out..

I move too much to vote, I've hear it called all 3 and can't remember which state i heard them called what in.....

But honestly....all seafood is nasty.....it smells bad, it's a pain to eat....

You guys eat like cockroaches and spiders but since it comes from the water it's different? I don't understand how you eat water bugs and other such stuff...

I mean I don't find you disgusting for doing so, maybe they taste good to you? I dunno....but I don't think it has much flavor, it's expensive....some of it is good for you...well better then steak/burgers...

But you won't catch me eating it unless it's to make someone else happy.

Crawdads, really I dont like Crawdads \ Lobster \ Crabs or many other crustaceans but I LOVE most seafood. Flounder is the shit btw.

Why wasn't freshwater cockroach listed as an option?

Bah, the only "real" Crawfish Festival is in Breaux Bridge...

We generally call them Crawfish here...In Tasmania they are Crayfish...

They are mudbugs, period

Crawfish.

Crawdads are fishing bait.

Crawdads are good grub down here in Texas.

"And when we runs out of crawdads, we ate sand"
"You ate sand?"
"We ate sand."

i dunno really, but my stepfather runs http://www.thecrayfish.com so I went with that.

I go with choice d) Shit

I call them crawfish or crawdads but I voted for crawfish since I think that's what I use most often.

BTW, sushi is not raw fish - that's sashimi. A lot of sushi is actually made with cooked (*gasp*) shellfish.

Crawdads or MUDBUGS. I love them lil critters.

Crawdads > Pie.

Crawfish is the proper food term. Every spring I cook about 600Ibs for the people I work with. You must have Corn, Patatoes, Mushrooms, Sausage, Garlic, Onions, and Lemons with them though. Some of the best eating IMO.

I pass through there eveytime I drive home.

You should never smell fish...if you can smell it, it is not fresh.

And yes, your local grocery store is notorious for selling not so fresh fish.

I call them crawfish...

Are they those little shits that look like shrimp and pinch the shit out of you? If thats what you're talking about I think I call them crayfish...or usually "AHHH pinchy thing!!"

Freak

No they look like mini lobsters and it doesn't really hurt when they get hold of ya unless they stay attacked for awhile. Think I have had maybe 3 in my life break the skin.

I would eat before any type of seafood ever.The smell of seafood makes me

I suddenly have a craving for steamers.

Good to see crayfish gaining some ground!

hehe I thought I was the only one...

Crawdads in Cali, I too hate most seafood....

But FUCK I love fresh Salmon cooked with Garlic and Teriyaki Sauce with some Brocolli and rice.

Sweden is the world's largest consumer of crawfish (last year 3000 tons).
During August people host crawfish parties everywhere, where we wear funny hats, worship the moon, drink loads of vodka, sing weird tunes, have non-consequential sex, and eat crawfish.

I want to live in Sweden
