Crayfish
About Crayfish
Crayfish, also known as crawfish or freshwater lobsters, are small crustaceans found in freshwater habitats like rivers and lakes. Crayfish are typically harvested by traps or nets, and they are commonly farmed in aquaculture systems.
Crayfish are a good source of protein, low in fat, and contain essential minerals like phosphorus and selenium. They are also rich in B vitamins, particularly B12.
While crayfish are generally a healthy seafood option, individuals with shellfish allergies should avoid them. Additionally, the way they are prepared, such as frying, can affect their overall healthiness.
