Ratio of crawish to tail meat

thorax = 70%
tail = 30%

you don't actually eat the tail shell so, you can probably deduct 10 more % for the actual weight of the tail shell.


so, it's probably more like 2 lbs or so.

i would say 1-2 lbs per 10 lbs


i peeld about 10 lbs that were left over from last weeks boil.....they filled up almost 2 sandwich sized ziplocs

15 to 18 percent of body weight is tail meat.
