Today's National Crawfish Day

[hatcreek]

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

Enjoy!

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.

Did the weather get bad at Grenada while you were there?

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..

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.

Some wonderful folks in that part of the world.

Was that at a local establishment Brian?

[jbassman87]

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.

Yessir, Cicero's... just across the road from my office. Ryan does a pretty good job with them.

Man, you gotta pinch the tails and suck the heads to get all the good stuff.
