Crawfish

[Trick Pony]

My favorite is Nate's in Addison for boiled crawfish.
One of my cajun buddies boils em up for us occasionally and he does a good job. I ate 13 lbs in one sitting last year. Could hardly move my hands the next day.

I love The Boiling Crabs and Nates...

Papadeaux is decent, but has really good prices.

I usually do three boils, usually 40 lb sacks each, 20 lbs of new potatoes, same of corn, 5 lbs of mushrooms, bag of garlic (like 5 pods), etc etc. Add about 5 different brands of beer, around 200 total, in a giant rubbermaid tube covered in ice and then sprinkled generously with rock salt. Nearby is enough hard booze and mixin's to make a variety of mixed drinks, but I usually leave that up to someone else, as I am busy cooking bugs.

Finally, when it is all down, spread the shit out on a pair of picnic tables pushed together and covered in newspaper, with several of the beer boxs placed around to catch the dead solders (empty crawfish). Skinniest person at the table gets the duty of grabbing fresh cold beer and drinks for the group.

Fuck, now I'm jonesin' for some bugs.

Where do you buy them? I always see them at the local grocery store, but they smell god awful. I don't eat bad smelling seafood.

last year the best deal I found was at Fiesta grocery store. I think i paid $1.49 per pound and bout a whole bag of live crawfish, about 40lbs or so.

When we used to buy sacks of them there the crawfish were pretty small compared to what you get from a restaurant.

I have never smelled ANY seafood that smelled good while raw or still alive. If you are a wine, salad and souffle' kind of guy, you might want to pass. If you are a cold beer, chili and rare steak kind of guy, give it a go.

Pretty good deal there, last year they never got below $1.69 per lb. around here, but they were good sized.
