Ever eat crawfish?

I have been pondering placing an online order but never had them.

I live up here in Philly and I never see them anywhere in stores and such.

Are they good?

Are there better times of year to get that at?

I destroy crawfish every time i visit Louisiana.

is sooo gooooood....:weirdface

crawfish are good if they are cooked right, I really like the ones that are cooked in some cajun seasoning. I'm not sure what season is best because I'm originally from the south and we had them around almost all year.

Spring is gold.

mmm crawfish. i've only ever had fresh crawfish--as in right off the boat, so i don't have any recommendations unless you want to come my way for dinner. :P

i hate you n4s, now I have a craving that cannot be easily filled at the moment.... :rage: lol

OOO Crawfish MMMMM....Boil with lots of seasoning, Tony Chachers, Old Bay, Louisiana Crab boil, Frsh crushed garlic, Keilbasa chunks, red potatoes, corn on the cob, quarted onions and anything else you want to add. Dang I want some now.

sounds like how my momma used to cook em'....Dinner at your place? lol :D

Maybe we Southern people need to get together for a Crawfish Boil next summer.

I'll trade some Philly Cheese Steaks and Soft Pretzels for some. :gj:

I love crawfish and cook it whenever I can find it locally. Last week I made an awesome crawfish bisque, and I make a killer cajun crawfish and cheese stuffed halibut or swordfish. Crawfish diablo sauce on grilled or broiled mahi-mahi is may favorite meal. I have a ton of recipes I've come up with if you decide to make the order. I don't care for shrimp or lobster too much, but crawfish is delicious.

Ummm excuse me Ed dear...not to be a bother or anything...but...

WAS THAT ENGLISH???????

You know Mike and I are determined to move south in a few years. I truly think I will need to order this book...

Now if I only could get a grasp on how to "get the vapors"! *goes off to continue to Google this* :P

Oh and on the whole crawfish thing. Went to Florida years ago, watched a rather large man, his rather large wife and their rather VERY large son feast on those things at an all you can eat buffet place. They eat untold pounds of the buggie things! Let's just say it was a less than appetizing sight and I've never had to nerve to try one myself since. :rolleyes:

You can ask Robin and Christie if you said it just like I typed it thats what I sound like.. LOL

I just looked through that book and yep its spelled the way we say things

They are awesome! They have a taste that sets them apart from shrimp and other crustaceans... yum. Now I want some.. thanks for reminding me.. :/

Maybe its just cause i used to pull them out of nasty mud puddles. Plus the fish bait thing. ;)

Now if I only could get a grasp on how to "get the vapors"! *goes off to continue to Google this* :P I believe that was supposed to be simulating a Cajun accent, rather like a Quebec resident speaking English with the de's dems and doe's rather than a run of the mill Southerner speaking.

Or to put it another way "A frog by any other name is still frog.":D

A crawfish boil is a great time for all. They can be an aquired taste as they are a tad fishy but mmmmmmmmm. Yum.

I only had them once myself. They were OK, but it seemed like an awful lot of work for such a tiny chunk of meat.

Man is fried crawfish A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!
