Crawfish Boils!

[Peekay]

Tomorrow, my wife and I are having a mini-boil (8 lbs).  I can't wait to get em, got a good price for Lousiana crawfish at $3 a lb (best places to look are local seafood or ethnic stores).  The prices will go down as the season goes on with imports from China lowering the price.  IMHO Chinese crawfish don't taste as good as Lousiana crawfish, but thats just me.  I add onions, lemon, corn, potatoes, and sausage to my boils and try to make the boil spicey as hell.  I usually aim to have everyone's nose running by the time they are done.  My parents are masters at the art of the crawfish boil, theirs tastes so good it will make you fight grandma.

Boils are great family affairs, I always had good memories from boils as I have grown up, good times...

Sure, but be prepared to have you sinuses flushed.

As they say in Acadian country, "Laissez les bon temps rouler!"

Translation: Let the good times roll!

Is there a source online to buy 'em live?

Thanks,

You can buy online but like Opus online, be prepared to pay extra, especially this season.

Usually during crawfish season me and handfull of guys get together about 3 times a month...usually around 30 pounds or so...but if u add what my family does...its about once a week. oh i just love southern louisiana hospitality

Check Walmart. The one here in hicksville has crayfish pretty much year round.

I suppose, having grown up in Acadian southeast Texas, that I'm a rarity. I wouldn't eat one on a bet!

I love crawdad boils! We catch all our own though. Something kinda fun to do when you are bored over the weekend. Set traps Friday night, come back Saturday night/Sunday morning, boil Sunday afternoon. :thumbs:
