  4. I haven't had proper crayfish for ages. My late Dad used to bring the big dark crayfish from his fishing forays, when we stayed in the godforsaken village where my grandparents lived. If I remember correctly, it was cooked in a big bucket with dill. Must ask my Mum what else was added. Your recipe sounds delicious.

    1. Yes you right, exactly in a big bucket with dill :) Until crayfish turn red. In Russia says: You red like a crayfish :)
