The texture & Being in a plastic container
Great 👌
Enhances his food so much!!
A place in your everyday cooking
Four ways to bring out the flavor.
Melon-seed soup
Egusi
Stir in as the melon-seed base fries. Crayfish carries egusi from nutty to savory.
Soups & stews
Ogbono & okra
Add early in the simmer so the savory flavor runs through the whole pot.
Rice dishes
Jollof & fried rice
For jollof, add with the tomato base. Stir into fried rice for savory depth without adding heat.
Everyday favorites
Beans & moi moi
Classic with ewa agoyin and moi moi. A little goes a long way in a bean pot.
The other side of the Atlantic
Where the two kitchens meet.
Broths & soups
Caldo de camarón
Stir into the broth base where dried shrimp would go. It dissolves in rather than sitting whole, so the savoriness runs through the bowl.
Salsas
Salsa de camarón seco
Toast your chiles, then add the crayfish ground. Skip the grinding step — it is already there.
Fritters
Tortitas
Fold straight into the batter. Start at two tablespoons for a standard batch and taste the mix before frying.
Where we cook
Jollof with a chile base
Our own crossing: guajillo and tomato under a Nigerian jollof, with crayfish tying the two together. This is the dish the brand is named for.
West African roots. A Mexican kitchen.
Two kitchens.
One pantry.
We’re a small family business where West African and Mexican food cultures meet. Our crayfish comes from Igbokoda, Nigeria, and is ground and packed in small batches in Oregon. Familiar ingredients, ready for the food you love to cook.
