Another Crawfish Thread - Actual Meat Yield Price Per Pound

How much meat can you expect to get?
Some, but not all crawfish are sized or graded, but
small to medium ones give the highest meat yield and
are easier to peel.
Meat yield will be as high as 20 percent on immature small to medium crawfish and as low as 8 percent
on very large mature crawfish. The larger the crawfish
are, the lower the tail meat yield percentage will be
– because as the animal matures, the head and claws
become disproportionately larger.
Based on a yield of 15 percent meat, 6-7 pounds of
live crawfish will provide 1 pound of peeled tails. You
should plan on purchasing 3-4 pounds of live crawfish
per person per meal or 1 pound of fresh or frozen tails
to feed three people.
