aplumma Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) O.K. it appears that up North you all don't know what to do with crawfish when you catch em. Her's a few pictures that will clear it up for you. First of all you have to rent yourself one official hound dog to lay on the front porch. Next you set up the okra frying station Then you hire an ugly cook Heres the fried okra ready to eat now the important part THE CRAWFISH Heres the plate loaded with Crawfish, onions, potatoes, celery, and garlic cloves all boiled in some spicy crawfish boil Now the most important ingredient add a group of your best friends, turn on some zydeco and some ice cold beer and enjoy the food.

GBW Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) but if you use them to fish, catch fish, clean fish, cook fish, you have a lot less work in eating process. more time for beer too Edited July 31, 2008 by GBW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Quick question whats the process of eating them? Shell and all? Or do you peel the shells off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Quick question whats the process of eating them? Shell and all? Or do you peel the shells off? Lotsa steam and butter. Then you strip off the shells. Add garlic and even more butter to the white parts. Then put the white parts in the garbage. Then you go to Harvey's for a burger.

Greencoachdog Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Suck the head, Pinch the tail First you pinch the tail off, then turn the head around and suck all the guts out the "hole"... then peel and eat the tail!!! Art, you done good on hirin' the ugly cook!!! I don't think you could've picked a more qualified one! Joe, that aint enough fried Okra for me to even think about startin' to eat it... are y'all on "short rations"??? Why did y'all paint them crawdads orange???

aplumma Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well dawg the okra was only the first batch of many served that evening. The orange color they turned was from the spices we boil with. We add beer, vinegar, garlic cloves, Zaterians crawfish boil, salt, red pepper, and lemons. To Eat them you first tear the front of the shell from the meaty tail section. Then take the head and give it a quick suck to get a burst of flavor and the fat "mustard" from their. Then pinch the base of the tail to free the meat and then peel the shell like a shrimp. You end up with a piece of meat about the size of your pinky from the knuckle to the tip. Repeat as often as you can till they are all eaten washing it down with your favorite brown pop. TSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you might be tryin' to watch yer girlish figure on the okra... the amount in that pic looked like just enough to piss me off! Y'all must go light on the spices when cookin the "dads"... mine turn red... but when y'all live as far north as y'all do I gues ya can't expect too much. ... and we both know what the "mustard" really is... don't we?

Zubris21 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Never had Crawfish, or Okra before, but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to give them a try. Looks Delicious! I can't believe some people say they would never eat this.... come on, be adventurous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blarg Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 ive eaten lots of lobster, and shrimp, but ive never sucked face with one...braaaaaaiiinnsss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 No, no. The 'mustard' is like the 'tomalley' from the body of a lobster. It's liver, and it's delicious. So are the mudbugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
