Grabbing your own crayfish is, in our opinion, one of the most fun and rewarding ways to gather your own fresh seafood. It's challenging, it's hilarious, and there's nothing quite like the feeling of finding and grabbing a crayfish fresh from the ocean and cooking it that same day. It's a skill that connects you to the ocean, puts the freshest food on your table and makes your friends\/ family and neighbours very happy too! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpend the day with us learning all about where to look to find your own crayfish, what terrains they like, tips and tricks from our experienced instructors with a combined 30 years experience grabbin' crayfish.
