Hot Damn Crawfish Are In

Bradley, the lobster statue I posted above is in Shediac, an Acadian town here in New Brunswick. Anyone Cajun probably has kin there.

Was real tempted to go up the road to St. Arnaudville. The Bayou Teche Brewery held a crawfish boil this weekend. They make some good beer too.

I buy Crystal hot sauce. I like it better than Tabasco.

I love Louisiana hot sauce, and Crystal is my #1 choice for Buffalo wings. It makes my wife mad, but I sneak a drink right out of the bottle sometimes. :mrgreen:

+1 Chrystal. Tobacco has a better marketing department, but it's the only thing that's better.

Oops.... Tabasco vice Tobacco

Bradley, how do you or the Mrs. cook them?

I bought 2# last week & ate a # for lunch, with Chrystal. Wasn't hot enough.

Could have eaten the whole 2#.

When we cook a sack ( 35 to 40 lbs ). I cook them in my big pot with strainer, I get the water 1/3 of the pot rolling with my Propane burner, I break several sacks of Zatarins crab boil , 1 or 2 of hot sauce Crystal, some jalapeño peppers, cut em up so seeds are exposed, some liquid crab boil, let it roll pretty good, put strainer in , dump sack , turn burner up, when it starts rolling, 6 minutes that's all. While it was rolling before I put strainer I threw in a bunch of halved potatoes, then before strainer goes in I take the spuds out , strainer , crawfish, potatoes back in. I've found out 6 min is the magic number, 2 sticks of butter for the shells to peel easier. I forgot to say I put corn on the cob in during the six min for the wife.

I saw these at the Sam's Club in Metarie, they don't sell them up here!

Brad, I went to a boil a couple of years ago and the guy doing the boiling threw all sorts of stuff in the pot - including who onions, mushrooms and whole eggplant. What really got me was he would also put about 5 lbs of chicken breasts and 10 lbs. of smoked sausage cut into about 4 inch pieces into the pot.
The chicken breast made some good chicken salad the next day.
