What is your favorite way to eat Crawfish ?

Crawfish-Okra Gumbo

Ingredients: ½ cup vegetable oil
2 quarts fresh okra, sliced
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper
¼ cup parsley, chopped
½ cup onion tops, chopped
1 pound crawfish tails, cleaned
1½ quarts water
½ cup roux
2 fresh tomatoes, cut up, or ½ can tomato sauce
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped

Procedure: Use heavy pot; heat oil. Add okra, salt, black and red pepper, garlic and onion to hot oil, and fry down for about 15 minutes on low heat. Stir very often to keep from sticking. Add tomatoes and cook for about 2 minutes. Add roux, onion tops, parsley, crawfish, and water. Let come to a boil and turn on low heat and let simmer for 1/2 hour.

I really need to learn how to cook because those symbols look like something I'd see in my algebra class.

LIVE BOILED!! With beer! I'm particular about my crawfish. I purge them twice and I still won't suck the heads.

Definitely boiled and with a Miller Lite. I'm with rhertz about the no suck rule. I get tired of peeling though. Crawfish bisque is pretty good if you're not watching your cholesterol! Great, now I'm hungry. btw Isaac...I'm not dangerous unless properly provoked...then watch out!

Hey I like them any way I can get them. Boiled with potatoes and corn on the cob or pull the tails off and fry them. I love catching them almost as much. During high water I'll go down on the creek bank with nets, I'll start a fire in a container put a boiler of water on to boil. As I catch them they go into a bucket to purge and into the cooker. I will stay all night catching and eating. Don't get no better than that. Drinks iced down. Man

The best way

If you cook them yourself, you need to fill your pot 1/3 full. This is key. Put 1 stick of butter per 30 lbs. Bring to boil (steam from under the lid) add crawfish, onions, lemons, MUSHROOMS,. Wait till steam comes out, cut off fire. Drink beer or wine, etc., dump in ice chest, season heavily, shake, leave to cool. EAT EAT EAT. The butter makes the meat shoot out of the shell.

Let's put a kick to it. Water, salt, lemons, creole seasonings. When you throw in the corn and potatoes it really puts the seasoning on. The spicest the better. Makes you drink more too. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Yes, I do like the spicey corn and potatoes.. but you should cook those AFTER the bugs.. for the corn and potatoes can soak up too much of your spices.. not leaving enough for your crawfish

unfortunately, the bugs caught out here at the LateNight Bar & Grill aren't big enough for eating

One trick I do is to take a pair of old panty hose, cut off the legs, and stuff them with potatoes, corn, onion, etc. This way it is easy to pull out the veggies so I don't have to go fishing for them. I dunno why but some folks question this practice.
