Crawfish, Yum Yum!

Tonight, Kelly and I ordered out for some boiled crawfish. When it is just the two of us, we prefer to buy them already prepared. With 8lbs of boiled crawfish in front of us (trying to cut back), we commenced to breaking heads and pinching tails. Tonight's batch came from a boiling hut on the southwest side of Eunice known as College Junction convenience store. Not bad, most of the bottom dwellers were medium to large and seasoned well. Supply early in the season was low. My guess is that several good crawfish seasons and a few disruptive hurricanes were at the root of our inability to enjoy a good crop early (December - February) this season. Currently, price is near $2.25/lb boiled and under $1/lb live. There are four crawfish boiling huts in Eunice that serve up some tasty mud bugs. If you are visiting the Eunice area, check with Kelly or I regarding who is serving up the finest while you are in town.
