Choosing live crayfish to cook at home
I want large crayfish, but not necessarily the largest. What should I compare?
Compare L and XL by approximate weight per crayfish and number per kilogram. Consider XXL if you specifically want the largest format. A size letter identifies a category; it does not mean every crayfish in a batch will be identical.
Will I receive exactly the number stated per kilogram?
The number on the card is a guide, not a fixed count: orders are measured by weight. If you need to share crayfish evenly between guests, discuss this with the manager before confirmation rather than relying on the table for an exact number.
Will XXL fit in an ordinary cooking pot?
Before choosing the largest size, compare the approximate crayfish length on the card with the size of your cookware. A large quantity or XXL may require a larger pot or cooking in batches. If cooking at home is inconvenient, consider crayfish cooked to order.
I want to cook tomorrow. Should I order live crayfish today?
It is better to arrange delivery for the day you plan to cook rather than buying live crayfish in advance. If there will be a gap between delivery and cooking, discuss its length and storage conditions with the manager beforehand. Do not treat a general storage period as a guarantee for every situation.
My preferred size is unavailable. How do I choose an alternative?
Compare neighbouring sizes by price, approximate weight per crayfish and number per kilogram. A smaller size means more individual crayfish; a larger size means fewer, larger ones. If a particular size matters, check its availability with the manager first.
