Add 1ltr of water per twenty crayfish - no more than 100 crayfish at a time is recommended.  Add 30-35g of sea salt per litre of water and one lump of sugar to every twenty crayfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse approximately 3-5 stems and sprigs of dill corollas to every twenty crayfish. Separate corollas from stems. Grind the stems in a pestle and mortar if possible and place into the simmering water. While the water is heating up, keep the crayfish in a sink. Let fresh water run over the crayfish - for best results, keep the crayfish in a fish chest a couple of days prior to preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eTake the crayfish out of the water for a quick dry prior to placing in the boiling water. Remove boiling water from heat. Take 8-12 crayfish put them on a strainer, and then place them into the pan - start with the biggest ones first. Make space with a wooden spoon or similar and put the remainder of crayfish into the pan, ensuring that all crayfish are covered with water. Bring the pan of water back to simmer. Then place the dill corollas over the crayfish. Do not cover with a lid whilst cooking or cooling. When the water begins to simmer, time the cooking for 10 minutes, remove any foam with a spoon.  IMPORTANT - the water must not boil - only simmer. After 10 minutes cooking, remove the Crayfish from the pan and start cooling with a light beer or lager. To avoid growth of bacteria, do not touch the water with your bare fingers. \u003cbr\u003e\nEnjoy your crayfish when cooled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sharnbrook Tackle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56689042719064,"sku":"222","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8269\/7304\/files\/fishing-tackle-flodkrafta1_fd9a933e-b0e4-4796-811c-9863cfb8175f.jpg?v=1770649041"},{"product_id":"water-authority-regulations","title":"Water Authority Regulations","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrayfish\u003cbr\u003e\nThe trapping of crayfish is only allowed depending on a number of factors; including location and reason for trapping.\u003cbr\u003e\nTrapping in the North of England \u0026amp; Wales\u003cbr\u003e\nThe use of traps to catch crayfish in the North of England \u0026amp; Wales (unless for scientific research, conservation, or fishery management) will normally be refused for the following reasons:\u003cbr\u003e\n \tIncreased risk of spreading crayfish plague and other fish diseases \u003cbr\u003e\n \tThe risk of capture and or harming native crayfish \u003cbr\u003e\n \tSmall scale trapping of Signal crayfish has been shown to increase rather than decrease their population size*\u003cbr\u003e\n*Scientific evidence shows large males are preferentially attracted to traps, while females and small males are trap-shy. As large male signal crayfish cannibalise juveniles they have the effect of keeping total population numbers down. In areas where trapping has occurred, the removing of these large males has resulted in a dramatic increase of overall signal numbers in the years after trapping.\u003cbr\u003e\nTrapping in South of England\u003cbr\u003e\nThe use of traps in southern England to catch crayfish for personal consumption or as a business enterprise is likely to be approved. However, our preference is for members of the public to use a rod and line because:\u003cbr\u003e\n \tTraps can impact on non-target species - water voles, otters, amphibians \u003cbr\u003e\n \tRod licence revenue is invested into improving angling and fisheries management\u003cbr\u003e\nMapping shows populated areas where trapping is not discouraged (In RED) so if you wish to trap Crayfish in the non-RED areas a license will only be granted on a scientific \u0026amp; research basis.
