If boiled/steamed I'll remove the head and pinch off the tail... but fried - sounds good (Think I've done it before- and even with tempura will eat the tail )

Wow that sounds crazy... recall which place that was?

Mmm! Damn' haven't had a proper crawfish in over a decade - but that's the best way to eat them...

Who likes the row from shrimp when they are boiled ?
