  • Place the crayfish in hot boiling water, bring them to the boil and cook them for maximum 3 minutes before letting them cool down. Harvest the tails. Cut the cooked tails in pieces. Set aside
  • Then dice onion and cut parsley very fine and place them in a bowl
  • Add to the onions and parsley the unsweetened yoghurt, the mayonaise and the tomato ketchup. Add the port or sherry
  • Mix to taste and mix in the crayfish pieces. Use very little salt -if any- to not affect the delicate taste
