Crayfish, also known as crawfish or freshwater lobsters, are small crustaceans enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Cajun, Creole, and Chinese dishes. These shellfish are rich in protein, low in fat, and contain beneficial nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and cognitive function. Crayfish are also low in calories, making them a healthy choice when prepared without excessive butter or cream-based sauces. However, they are naturally high in cholesterol, so moderation is recommended for individuals monitoring their cholesterol levels. Typically boiled and seasoned with spices or incorporated into stews and soups, crayfish offer a flavorful and nutritious seafood option that enhances any meal.
