It's my son's 25th birthday so we all went to the lake last night and caught a mess of crawdads. We get some decent sized ones in Colorado. Good day so far. Cast some .454 for the revolver,purging crawdads and getting ready for the cookout

Made a purge bucket yesterday also.

One of my favorite fish!

I love those. Around here we boil them with some Old Bay or Zat's shrimp boil with corn and taters. Wife won't eat them though.

Man I'm filled to the gills. Got some Coors and some homemade peach cobbler still to put down.

Would you consider taking on an apprentice?

I love them. After I moved from MS, I flew into New Orleans for a meeting once. My boss picked me up at the airport and our first spot was a bar and grill for lunch were we ordered 6 lbs or so of crawdads.

In college we would just put them in the bed of a pickup and lower the tailgate for people to eat.

Yep, that's what it is supposed to look like. Ya done good...

You’d fit right in down home in Louisiana!

 

[Brazos John]

I've never heard of them way up there.
And that's sure a big one, so I guess that's how he got from Louisiana to Colorado, fighting all the way.
Where do you catch them way up there, on lakes or private ponds? I can't imagine in moving streams.

Wait, maybe I know why he wanted to go to Colorado...

Makes ya wanna like yer eyebrows. Keep the liquer out of the boiling pot makes a great base for crab soup later on.

It’s a shame really to live where boiled crawfish is a staple and eat them as seldomly as I do now. And I love them, but only had them once this year at our annual Church crawfish boil. We used to eat them regularly.

Here in Tennessee, at least in my part of the state, they don't get as big as that one he is holding. Or I've always looked in the wrong places. Yep, in a moving crick, just below an old dam, they used to be quite plentiful. Haven't been in a while though.

Before retirement spent time in Sunflower County in MS and in the delta below New Orleans on the salt. Ate plenty of crayfish. Also crabs, oysters, fish, gator, duck, geese. Was in the restaurant business in Philadelphia, PA which is a foodies town. But NEVER ate better than I did in the MS delta or on the Louisiana salt.
There are 4 star restaurants in Philadelphia that can not serve a steak as good as you get at Doe's Eat Place in Greenville.

Catch them in a few lakes here. Used to catch them in the creeks in north east Oregon when I was a kid. They were always under the rocks in the creek.

Nothing matches low land cooking. Fella could get right fat down that way.

Pinch the tail and suck the head! Don’t wear your good clothes if you plan on enjoying a pile of crawfish.
