Redclaw

A tier

Redclaw is the trade name for Cherax quadricarinatus sold as a warm-water farmed crayfish. Chefs like the consistent size, mild sweetness, and ability to take bold sauces without tasting muddy when animals are properly purged and processed. Ideal for garlic butter, Singapore-style chilli, or simple salt-and-pepper frying after a brief boil. Check packs for whole versus tail-only; whole animals give stock from shells. Keep frozen product solid until the day of use.
