Today's National Crawfish Day

I celebrated it a little early (last Saturday), and will likely celebrate several more times in the near future...

Enjoy! :beers:

If you’re ever in Lafayette, La or the surrounding area, order some. I’ve had them here in Jawga and Tennessee. Nothing compares to back home in Lafayette. :beers:

You simply can't find them (on a menu) up here. I really wish I could. That pile and about 7 cold beers... I'm in heaven

Family has had many crawfish boils so far. Cooking 3 sacks tomorrow. Middle of next month, inshore shrimp season opens here. I help my buddy on his 45 ft shrimp boat. Then it will be time for boiled shrimp and crabs. Fried soft shell crabs also. Eat a lot of Catfish and crappie, caught right out the bayou near my house. Eat fish 3 times a week. People come down here to visit, are jealous.

I always tell people that if I lived any closer to the marsh/redfish/specks that I'd be completely worthless instead of just mostly so. :laugh:

:thumb up2: Some wonderful folks in that part of the world.

Was that at a local establishment Brian?

If you would go ahead and peel for me ahead of time, that would be great. If I have to peel and eat, no thanks.:laugh:

Yes it did. Tornado hit 1/2 mile away and we were without power at Hambones for 3 days. Still got to fish 7 out of the 8 days and had a great time. A lot of good people live in that area. It’s always a catch and release trip for us and keep a 3-4 and fry them up for one of our meals..

I celebrate it early too. :cool:

To me they are not as hard to peel as shrimp.

Here you go, already peeled! :laugh: https://www.walmart.com/ip/OCEANZEN-...8090b39af55563
