Do you eat crawfish?

[chatolandia]

LOVE crawfish

but I grew up with my that catching all sorts of little critters in the rivers and then having a boil!

 

[boxerdudeuk]

crawfish are delicious. then again, i've eaten a live sea urchin that had it's spikes ripped off, and cut open with a knife right in front of me and ate it while it was still moving. i've also had lobster sashimi that was so fresh, the tentacles of the head was still moving on the platter.

needless to say i don't have a problem with seafood. lol

 

[Ekim23]

I love seafood

How much meat does these things have insides?

Go eat a pile! Come back here when you're done.

Hereabouts they cost like nine bucks a pound or some shit. Spendy.

 

[giorgiobaby]

yep, grew up on the coast and have eaten just about anything you can pull out of the ocean. My parents had a seafood restaurant and my uncle had 4 shrimpboats

I have never even seen a crawfish, let alone eat one.

 

[zoltanspawn]

I've seen these burrows years and never knew what made them. Crawfish did.

You learn something new everyday.

Where is this? What? You telling me you live by/visit the real deal and are too squeamish to indulge in crustacean ultrapleasure?

I'm a damned yankee and I find this behavior appalling. What does your Mom say about this?

There's a band out of New Orleans called, "The Radiators", and one of their most popular songs features the lyric, "Suck the head, squeeze the tip..."

Double entendre aside, what they are really talking about is how to eat crawfish.

I found myself in New Orleans with some friends one time, listening to said band play, when a *giant* basket of crawfish appeared on our table. There must have been 20 pounds of them. Everyone dug right in except me, since I really was kind of nervous trying to eat the little buggers... They looked so cute.

Well, as it turns out, they're *delicious* ! Addictive little bastards, really.

Try 'em some time, young Piglet.

 

[gmoney]

Yuck! I don't want nothin' to do with them!

 

[bankside]

Even with this picture I'm still not sure what I'm even looking at.

 

[bankside]

They look like baby lobsters.

Ahh. That helps somewhat.

Couldn't they be peeled like shrimp and served on a plate instead of dealing with the sucking out the guts part?

Are they also sort of like shrimp?

(prairie boy here- I'm a 16 hour drive from the nearest ocean...)

 

[Joshua_me]

Well, if it's a buffet young Piglet, you must get more than just catfish.

What else do you like ?

A small, sensible piece of boiled chicken, perhaps ?

I've had them 3 or 4 times.

I've found them only to be "so-so" and not all that memorable, which VERY much surprised me, actually - I thought that I'd really enjoy them immensely. I like almost all seafood without exception (but it can't be alive when I eat it, LOL).

I'll definitely eat them when offered, and enjoy them to some degree, but I won't go out of the way to order or eat them.

How To Peel Crawfish





1. Pick a nice crawfish with a big tail
(that’s where all of the meat is!)

2. Hold the body and grab the tail.

3. Twist the tail to loosen it from the body.

4. Pull the tail away from the body.

5. Pinch the tail just above the fans.

6. This makes the meat pop out from the shell.

7. Pull the tail meat out and enjoy.

8. Suck the head if you want—the spicy juices are great.
Or, for the true die-hard, stick your pinkie in the body and scoop out the fat.

Tasty crawfish fat to be licked the pinkie. Mmm good.

 

[zoltanspawn]

I bet there's some pinkie suckers up in this thread. Goddammn that pinkie looks gooood.

I'm have a mild allergy to shellfish. They make the back of my throat produce thick mucous. Oddly enough, prawn crackers are fine.

OMIGOSHEWW! ...

 

[biguy732]

Only in etoufee. I don't have the patience to open them individually.

 

[operafan]

Definitely casual party food. Boiled up with shrimp, clams, corn, artichokes and dumped on a newspaper covered table in the back yard. Fun--and good.

My Momma told me to remind you about "Maine Lobster"
...which is great too but I love

" mud-bugs" (crawdaddies,crawfish)
