Everyone loves seafood surprise!
Those look like Dolomedes, the fishing spider. They probably got scooped up with the crayfish (these spiders will hunt and kill crayfish, by the way) and cooked along with everything else. I don’t think they’d provide much flavor, but do make for a charming garnish.
Well, that s a different sort of Sea Spider alright!

Meh, it’s trilobites or nothing.
Look, I have enough problems eating animal flesh. That just makes things worse. Poor spiders. 😭
I need to see footage of a spider killing a crayfish to believe it.
@Walter Solomon #4,
Behold.
OK, so a crawfish boil is just arthropods all the way down?
@Prax
Thanks.
Fishing spiders can get quite large, about the size of an adult hand? Multiple spiders in any prepared dish would definitely spoil my appetite. I expect that poor child is going to have some nightmares about spiders in their food.

In an Aussie accent the fiddler crab says to the tarantula, “Now this is a pedipalp.”
