Scuba Forum / General / February 2004Geogian Bay Cray fish
Hi. Im jus wondering f the cray fish in Georgian Bay (tobermory, more specifically) are the same the Cajuns consume in mass quantity in N'Orleans. On my last night dive there, they were EVERYWHERE....good size too. I lived in New Orleans from birth until I was over 18 years old. Never once did I consume a cray fish. Nor did I ever even see one. Crawfish, on the other hand.............

Dam cold up there right now, isn't iced over with about ten feet of ice? Where were you diving Lighthouse? Tugs? And yes you can eat the cray(w)fish ther the same beast. I have had them a few times, but being a coaster they are not my cup of tea. In Toby or down south. Have fun Steve I F#$ing wish i lived in toby....during the summer though. Unfortunately, I'm in the S$%^ hole known as North Bay, Ont for school > > Hi. > > Im jus wondering f the cray fish in Georgian Bay (tobermory, more [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Steve > I F#$ing wish i lived in toby....during the summer though. > Unfortunately, I'm in the S$%^ hole known as North Bay, Ont for school Sorry to hear that I think? I was in New York recently. Just North of NY City. The good old boys down there eat them as well. They claim to take only the big ones. If your in Toronto, I know I have seen them (cooked) in some of the high end grocery stores. If it's your cup of tea. Who knows you might start a trend. Could give guys a reason to dive again. In Toby I always found the biggest ones in the 30 feet or less range. The rock formations like at the "Lighthouse" and facing in that direction (sun exposure) seem to grow the biggest. Good hunting, I think? Let us know how you make out. That and I wouldn't mind a zebra mussel report. The I'll send you some pic's of before zebra mussels, brings tears to the eyes. I have pic's that look like the wreck just went down. That and corn was still in the hold of the "Arabia". Have fun Steve > Hi. > Im jus wondering f the cray fish in Georgian Bay (tobermory, more > specifically) are the same the Cajuns consume in mass quantity in N'Orleans. > > On my last night dive there, they were EVERYWHERE....good size too. It depends. There are nine species of crayfish found in Ontario, the small orconecities virilis is the most common (and not the kind they eat in the US). Two of the species were introduced into Ontario waters including the eatable Cambarus. In the 80s they were farmed near Wiarton. They can get very big. Maybe that is what you saw. Looks like I be chowin down the da spring! AIEEE!! Crawfish, crayfish....same sh.t, different pile > > Hi. > > Im jus wondering f the cray fish in Georgian Bay (tobermory, more [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > eatable Cambarus.

You'd be more likely to find the ones consumed by the Cajuns (and Creole) in a waste treatment facility. If that's what you're looking for, be my guest. > You'd be more likely to find the ones consumed by the Cajuns (and Creole) in > a waste treatment facility. If that's what you're looking for, be my guest. I'm not saying that crawfish won't be found in a waste treatment pond, but from what I've read, around 90% of the yearly crawfish yield is from managed farms where they grow other crops (like rice) in the flooded fields during the rest of the year... The other 10% is from lakes and swamps... It's kind of early for crawfish, so they're still a little small, but I had 5# of them tonight for an appetizer... Didn't so much get full of them as just get tired of peeling them... One good think about being in New Orleans these days is the seafood... > > You'd be more likely to find the ones consumed by the Cajuns (and Creole) > in [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > tired of peeling them... One good think about being in New Orleans these > days is the seafood... Actually, I was referring to those already consumed by the Cajuns / Creole... Don't eat th Georgian Bay Crawfish, they are for the Bass. |
