Yeah, but i've seen the green shit that comes out of the rest of it.

That's what you get when you have a bunch of inexperienced Georgians trying to cook'em. Here's how you prep crawfish:

1) Purchase one plastic kiddie pool
2) Fill with water
3) Fill with salt
4) pour in live crawfish

The salt water makes the crawfish regurgitate. You can leave'em in there for a while while you're preparing everything else. You need a container to dump the crawfish in once they're cooked (We always used a wheelbarrow lined with plastic bags).

Other things needed:

Sausage cut into thick slices
New potatoes (about 10 Lbs for every 40 Lbs of crawfish, which is usually a bag)
Half Ears of corn
Zatarain's Crab Boil

Also needed is a gas burner like a fish cooker. Fill the pot about 1/2 -3/4s of the way with water and Zatarain's. After that, it's all about maintaining because you'll be cooking for a while. Crawfish, potatoes, corn, and sausage. Once they're done, empty all of it onto the plastic, grab another beer, and repeat the process.

Oh yeah, and make sure the crawfish are alive before you start cooking.

Do not talk about crawfish in front of me, dammit... can't get anything good here in Georgia.   :bawl:

Sure you can...come summer there are wonderful peaches (just ask Rebel... :lmao:) and vidalia onions. :yum:

I was referring to the crawfish.   I am a Louisiana native, and am disappointed at the lack of crawfish.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Georgia-grown peaches (I have a great recipe for a peach pie,  and I also get called one quite a bit... LOL).

You can't get crawfish in Savannah?  I don't know, I don't eat 'em.

...snip....

Sam's got the right idea.

 :whatever:  That's what happens when you are afraid to try new foods (or weren't born in Louisiana  :uhsure: )  They aren't that much different from shrimp, so if you like shrimp, you've no excuse to avoid crawfish (well, at least the tail part of the crawfish). 

I appreciate your passion for "mudbugs", but since I am neither from Louisiana nor do I care for shrimp, green shit or not, this is an unequivocal:

NO GO.

You can have whatever portion was allocated to me.

At my age, I adopt the George Carlin Method of Eating Different Foods:

"If I have to ask questions, **** it. I ain't eatin' it."

Uh... how about a few hundred pounds of crawfish?!   You have any other ideas on where to put that much live crawfish in one place at one time, until they're ready for cooking?    :mental:   :tongue:  (hint:  Not an ice chest).

Okay, so Eupher thinks I'm some Louisiana cuisine snob... oh well.  We may have weird cooking tactics and equally weird food, but at least we know how to make it taste good, even for the most picky of eaters.   :-)

It can get pretty tricky if someone is driving around while your back there.  :p

Not at all! Like I said, I admire your passion for Cajun vittles -- apart from Andouille sausage, the trinity sans carrots (sub bell peppers), a shitload of Tabasco, and keep-that-slimey-okra-outta-my-face, I could wind up eating some of that myself.

I just ain't big on seafood -- or bayou food either, for that matter.

I was a kid in Houston with a ditch between our house and the street.  I know ditch food.  We use to catch them on a string with bacon as bait.  No mistake.

That's bait, not edible crawfish. When you go to Louisiana sometime, look at some of their crawfish. They're about 3-4 inches long, not 1. Now, if you have a ditch that's producing 4-inch crawfish, lemme know and I'll bring my traps.

1" long?  Hell, man, that was just their feelers.  You must not ever played in Houston ditches.  :old:

All crawfish raised for restaurants are raised in the same manner catfish are... on a FARM! 

No one takes crawfish from ditches anymore, at least commercially.    I know my mom had fun as a kid, taking some bacon as bait, putting it on a string, and dropping it into a crawfish hole (seen at the link below).
