Across the Seafood Sensation Trail, and actually every other, you’ll find that Louisianans are mad about mudbugs. We can’t seem to get enough. But we will admit that peeling a crawfish may seem quite unappealing if you’ve never tried before. Here’s a primer, but you can always ask a local for a quick how-to. They’ll be happy to oblige.

1. Hold the crawfish head in one hand and the tail in the other.
2. Disconnect the tail by gently twisting it.
3. Peel off a section or two of shell at the top of the tail.
4. Pinch the tail at the bottom to release the meat.
