I love it . Crawfish are yabbies here,whole range of different species state by state. Many memories of catching them on a bit of meat tied on the end of string or pots. This was before they started farming them & cross breeding .They are stupid prices in the market but no muddy taste.

 We used to bring home chaff bags of them maybe 10 pound not bad for kids,& put them in an old bath for a day or so to get the muddy taste out. My mother not so thrilled but with her laundry full of critters but it kept us out of her hair.

Well not be interupting any Cajun nostalgia here but us on the correct side of the Sabine was raised up on fried craw dad tails rolled in corn meal. Also sometimes called buck shot. Portion control was essential since they aint real big when they come out of the Crisco. Or as Granny say in her Hillbilly cookbook:

Figger eight to a plate,

Unless somebody is late.

Then give them four,

And they won't never be late any more.

With all the things people could think of when mentioning Louisiana, I pretty much figure crawfish is always one of 'em. Just like Mardi Gras and Bourbon St., crawfish are always there.

BTW you ever notice that they are crayfish everywhere except Louisiana? LOL

Cold beer and boiled yabbies' sounds good to me.

Excellent use of crawdads Foam! Need to get my pots out and go find me some! When I lived at the beach we used to go to a Park on the Siletz River called Moonshine park. There were nice warm rocks to sit on and sip hooch. We'd toss whole chickens on a string into the river. Pull them in every 15 minutes or so shake off the bugs into five gallon buckets till we had a few full!!! So good!!! Stop by the Oyster farm on the way home and have an Oyster and crawdad feast!

Thank you sir, but not a master, just a coonazz.
