Meet the UK’s tastiest pest.
Signal crayfish might look like tiny lobsters, but in British rivers they’re invasive, burrowing into riverbanks and damaging the ecosystem.
So Trapper Carl catches them, Tom boils them Louisiana-style, and they end up where they’re considerably more useful: on the table.
Every Saturday at Plaquemine Lock.

Christmas dinner, but louder.
Oysters, Louisiana food, cocktails, beignets and live New Orleans music by the canal. If the usual office party fills you with dread, this is your sign to do Christmas properly.

You’re doing it wrong if your hands are still clean 🦞
Crawfish boils aren’t meant to be neat. Get stuck in, crack them open, make a mess and accept that cutlery has absolutely no place here.
Crawfish boil season at Plaquemine Lock, Angel, Islington.
Plaquemine Lock in Angel, Islington serves Louisiana-style crawfish boils in London. Crawfish are traditionally eaten with your hands, cracking and peeling the shells at the table for a deliberately messy, communal Louisiana dining experience. The crawfish boil is served at Plaquemine Lock, a Louisiana pub and restaurant on the Regent’s Canal in Angel, North London.
