Crawfish

Tonight was Crawfish night, well sorta. From what I've been told your only suppose to eat crawfish on months ending in an "r" so we figured it was the last time to get them before there out of season. The deal we thought we were getting was $3.33 a pound but that ended right before we got there so I think it went to $6 a pound, but it was good. After about half our food was gone a lady at the next table came over and asked if we were from out of town. I guess out shucking skills were poor. she jumped right in an showed us the trick. needless to say its an art and we reverted to the smash and pull method.

For those who dont know how its suppose to be done, its a push twist and pull. Now thats just to get the tail off. If your lucky the first ring stays on the body and the meat just needs to be yanked out. Hopfully we'll be able to get back there for sunday lunch and do it like a pro. In case your wondering I sucked the goodies from one head, but its really just spices and yellow goo.
