A wonderful tasting crawfish dippping sauce. Fun fact from www.pclink.com on another creature that eats crawfish - the racoon. A common observation is that of raccoons taking morsels of food and washing it in water before they eat it. Cleanliness? Not really. What is mistaken for washing its food is in reality just another way of seeing for the raccoon. A raccoons sensitive hands and finger act as a second pair of eyes. When raccoons are at the edge of a pond or stream searching for crayfish, frogs, minnows and other aquatic treats they use their hands and fingers to probe under rocks and in the mud. When they do this they are feeling their way around more than they are looking for things. So what's going on here? It seems that water actually increases the sensitivity in the fingers. By taking whatever they find and holding it under water and then turning it all around and feeling it they appear to get a better idea of what it is they are going to eat. Rather than washing their food, they are seeing the food through their fingers!
