CRAWFISHIES . . . where to go to EAT 'em up?

[jmohme]

The first time I ever heard of boiled crawfish was when a good friend of mine went fishing with his dad.
He said the sun was setting and they had not caught a thing, He asked his dad what they were going to eat. He said "the bait"
He told me it was pretty good too!

I always figured that was the origin of boiled crawfish. A bad day of fishing.

I have no explanation for raw oysters though. Never been that hungry.

Best explanation is probably having drank too much first.

That is not a huge surprise to me.
I have only had boiled crawfish one time. Everybody was always talking about them so the wife and I stopped in a place in Lake Charles LA that was supposed to be good. They were ok, but more trouble than they were worth to me.

I've stopped at the Steamboat Bill's in Lake Charles, LA for crawfish and thought they were pretty good.

I like their crawfish pistolettes.

This thread just reminds me that I need to get some crawfish , Boiled or fried. I remember one place in town that used to have jalapeno stir fried crawfish that was tasty. Don't remember the name of the restaurant. Might have to make that myself.

I don't know about the hot waitress piece - but HEB has'em going for $9.99/lb. Pricing on crawfish are way up - there was a farming issue and much less supply from what I recall reading. The HEB boys have the process down pat.

I may try HEB's crawfish, and I may not. A lot of people like their Que and it sure smells good but the flavor is lacking.
