crawfish alert!

Crawfish in January is just wrong

Crawfish are sometimes available as early as late October in south La, and it is not unheard of for folks to eat crawfish for Thanksgiving or Christmas there.

Crawfish prices have been ridiculous for years now. Until people quit paying stupid prices for them, the price won’t go down, like new trucks.

I love to eat them but don’t nearly as much as we used to simply because they aren’t worth it.

Correct.

Brisket is the same.

Both became the trendy "cool" thing.

Cooked a sack last night. $5.99 a pound. Expensive and small but my wife wanted crawfish.

Those must be the genetically engineered high fenced crawfish.

Add in chicken wings....per pound of meat the most expensive thing on the bird

I like crawfish and all the veggies cooked with it more as a social event than just a meal, same with a crab boil. Don't get me wrong I like eating them but not something I would just do at home alone. I really don't fry fish alone either I generally feed a group.

I know the pre-peeled crawfish used to be nine dollars a pound now they are at $18 a pound

I've boiled crawfish for new years several times.

Looks good. How was your live/dead ratio?

You're doing it all wrong.

15 lb sack from HEB. Bugs only. Quadruple the seasoning. Don't overcook. Use Ice to cool the water to hot/warm. Put in a cooler. Come back in two hours with a 12 pack. Eat all of them with sweat beading on your forhead. One of the finer things in life.

You don't peel the tails. You suck/pull the meay out.

We boiled for a Superbowl back in the late 90s. They were much harder to get back then and way cheaper. We used to get them from Davis Bob Seafood Market in South Dallas.

Your speaking truth BOB. A lot of folks don’t soak their crawfish long enough or at all and the seasoning has been wasted. Another good home backyard method is to kill the fire and throw in frozen corn to chill the pot and kill the cook. This way you aren’t deluting your soaking liquid and spices. We actually make a large soaking solution that is totally seperate from our boil. We keep it refrigerated (30 gallons) and it’s poured into a soaking trough when we start boiling. Hot crawfish dumped into a cold soak will result in the crawfish soaking up more spice so the soak time doesn’t take as long if you are needing to cook a lot of bugs.
