yummm - CRAWFISH!



Recommended Posts

NO! don't delete it Paula! Too much fun.

I've eaten crawdads once, and they were yummy. Fresh creek Water type. We caught them ourselves and had a great time with that too.

ooooh bbq oysters! I like adding a little white wine to them in addition to the hot pepper sauce!

No way. Don't delete. I wasn't feeling well when I typed that, and was very tired too! When I'm in that state of mind it doesn't take much to get my stomach turning.

I don't want anyone to think that their posts bother me to that point. It's free speech here.......right?!?!

Never had crawfish here in Colo. So you boil them just in Water Paula?

How long? And you eat them from the tail up??

Humm reason has commented on the in the grocery store but I have no clue what you do with them..

I was so excited about eating crawfish this spring I had to make an EXECUTIVE DECISION that they were technically a "soft protein." And YUMMY! Went down just fine.

It's hard to describe how they taste....kind of a combination between shrimp and little lobsters....but to me they are soooo much more juicy and tender.

Practice makes perfect....and once you master how to peel these babies, it's a piece of cake.

Since I'm Paula's North Louisiana cousin, I had to come to the rescue to defend our cuisine.

And for the record, I DO suck the heads. Just can't do the beer anymore. :cool:

I'm still trying to figure out if you eat the eyeballs when you suck them out.

When I peel my shrimp, I devein them and take out that long strand of poop. If you suck the heads off of a crawfish, are you sucking in the poop stringy thingy like the vein in a shrimp?

Lisa,

yes, we 'devein' crawfish too - just like shrimp! And NO - no eating the eyeballs... again, just like shrimp!

When you suck the crawfish head, its for the juice/flavor that was collected in that area.... not the crawfish parts (nor their 'brains' that Kathy mentioned).

Look, just make a trip down here so me and Nicole can show you this!!!! (lol)

Someone asked about boiling them...

we fill the pot with Water, then add a seasoning mix(I think the kind we use is Zatarans - or maybe its Tony Chachere's *Im looking at the bottle - http:// www.tonychachere.com).

FYI- We buy our live crawfish in sacks of 35lbs each from an independent seller (not at Walmart or any place like that)... once we bring the 'sack' home, we put them into a large ice chest(s) and 'wash' them. After they are clean, they are ready for the pot.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
