20 people, although some didn't eat crawfish. Two boils.

We had 5-6 lbs left.

[Kerrmudgeon]

Question?...Are mudbugs, crawfish, crawdads, crayfish all the same thing?

...any other names they're called? Thanks.:kimblair:

Yes, they are all the same.

While spell-check only recognizes "crayfish", I have always considered the proper spelling to be "crawfish".

Haven't had any crawfish in forever. Used to catch them in the creek in the woods behind my house, but after the droughts of the last 10-15 years I don't find them anymore except one in the swimming pool every now and then.

This CropDuster from CF, or just coincidence?

Sounds delish! :drool:

If you haven't tried this, then you certainly ought to. It's the shit! Way better and spicier than that Old Bay crap.

Old Bay? That's for Yankees that don't know any better.:D

Zatarain's FTW.

What you show is good as well.:cert:

Don't forget about "sewer lobster."

:funny: Haven't ever tried the Zatarain's. I'll have to pick some up and give it a go. Thanks! :cert:

It really is the way to go. It is pronounced zat-are-ains.

Love the crawdads. My favorite ones in the French Quarter are Acme Oyster House's. They are really good and spicy.

They make a mean grilled oyster, too.

Have you ever tried the Louisiana Crawfish Crab and Shrimp Boil?

Of course. It is very good too. You really can't go wrong with either. But my favorite is this:

Figured you had as you are quite the connoisseur. :D

I'll check out the Zatarain's.

:iagree: I use both the liquid and the extra spicy in my boils.

[NEVRL8T]

We farm and eat a lot of crayfish here in Arkansas, too. I just went to a boil last week. A dump truck load for 700 people!

[Cybercowboy]

:iagree: I use both the liquid and the extra spicy in my boils.

I have a near impossible time getting crawdads here in Missouri but the few times I've managed I also add the liquid to spice it up more. For shrimp the packages do a fine job. Crawdads can handle more intensity IMO.

That stuff does add some very good aromatics, but if you want some heat, you'll have to add some of that orange-sawdust-lookin' stuff that comes in the yellow bag.

It's labeled as Louisiana Crab boil, or something like that.

I always add two of the Zatarain's bags and a bag of the crab boil, for batches to feed around 5-10 people. Add another bag of each if you're doing a larger batch.

With Louisiana, the longer you let the seafood and/or crawfish soak, the hotter it gets. I would imagine the same holds true with Zatarains's.

[NB2K]

Yep, that's what we do, too.

[Rob]

Yep, that's what we do, too.

And then let it soak for about 30 min before dumping out on the table. We mix in mushrooms, lil smokies, corn, potatoes, and garlic cloves. man is it good :seasix:

Harrisburg, Arkansas has a great deal of crawfish farms. When I lived up there, that's where I bought them.
