[caribou]

that looks scruptous. I've never had the opportunity to eat crawdads; taste like lobster?

 

[cowgirl]

Thank you Caribou!   Crawdads aren't really like lobster... and they don't exactly taste like shrimp.. hmmmm.. I'm having a hard time coming up with something to compare them to.. lol   They have a unique flavor all their own I guess.  Hope you get to try them sometime!

Cowgirl ya missed the perfect chance to say " it tastes like chicken " LOL  Crawdads have a tamer less rich flavor than lobster or shrimp ( must be the fresh water thing ).

I honestly couldn't tell ya what they taste like since the ones I have had have been seasoned. It taste kinda fishy, kinda meaty and a lot like the seasonings LOL

 

[cowgirl]

Shoot Paul, I didn't know that!

 You're a loner like me!

lol Lugnutz... I shoulda said that. lol   Thanks!

Wow..that looks awesome..I would love to do that for my friends..problem is..living up here on the "central coast of Wisconsin" we don't have acces to mudbugs. or any real good seafood for that matter

Any of you southern folk willing to ship a big ole bag of crawdads up to Wisconsin?  I would love to get some to do a boil with.

Thats a great looking boil. I somehow found my way to South Mississippi from Alaska and married into a Cajun family. We do Mudbugs just about every other weekend. We cook 30-50lbs at a time. Play music, and drink lots of ice cold beer. Waiting for the Bugs to come back into season!

 

[cowgirl]

Thanks Dan, hope you are able to get them up there...

CaptDen, that would be a great way to spend the summer.. I could definately do these at least once a week.

 From Alaska to Mississippi..that's an interesting change of weather conditions. Thanks Capt Den!

Tomorrow I am putting a ram lamb in freezer camp. Some will be held out for next weekend. if all turns out OK thern here will be a nice QView of a smoked leg of lamb raised right here.

Kudos

I'm not sure about online stores... Maybe a google search will bring up places to compair prices. 
They grow wild here and I catch them when I have the time.. my grocery store carries them in the seafood department too. Maybe your grocery store could order some for you?  Hope you have good luck with the boil!!

Dan ,

 i can get them shipped to you from south louisiana in season . But shipping live crawfish is not cheap. or should i say, i have never found a cheap shipper.  From what i've seen the cost of shipping 2 -30 lb sacks is more than the cost of the crawfish.

Here is the rate chart for seafood

[mnjosh]

Great post Cowgirl! Looks very tasty.

I am doing a boil in a few weeks. Do the lemons add much?

They don't look too spicy, what do you all add to the boil and in what order?

Thanks

 

[SmokinAl]

Boy Jeanie, that's one great looking spread you put out there. Great outdoor kitchen as well!   

 

[oldschoolbbq]
