In San Diego, they are considered inedible and sold only in bait stores. I
tried keeping 6 of them in an aquarium, but whenever one would molt, the
others would eat him post haste.

Well, I was raised in western Pennsytucky, and we always called them
crawdads there.  And that is a pretty Yankee venue

I grew up eating them on occasion but I had to visit New Orleans to meet
them in Etoufee, and that is a delightful dish, and one I rarely pass up now
that I know about it.

Back in the hills of the northen Appalachians, we simply treated them as
little lobsters:  we boiled them in hot salted water, then split them and
ate them in melted butter with garlic, and not much more than that.  That
was still a tasty mouthful, as the dark came up over a chlling summer field.
