Sucking Heads
 

No this isn't about liberals, do you like CrawFish and are you real and suck the heads?

A few weeks back I was walking into the super market. I called one of my friends back in Chatt & told him that they were boiling crawfish in the parking lot, smoking slabs of ribs and sampling shots of liquor inside. No place has food like here.

Step 1. Pick the biggest crawfish.
Step 2. Pop head from body
Step 3. Suck head
Step 4. Pinch tail while using teeth to pull tail from shell
Repeat till done

I love crawfish and have been known to suck a head or two, but it usually takes me 4-5 beers to do it. The only thing that you really get out of sucking the head is a rush of spice anyhow so I don't really get the big deal.

Maybe for you.

Classic New Orlean's Radiator's song: "Suck da heads, squeeze the tips" ... I'm getting that itch to go back again Mule :)

Ah, Yes. One of Louisiana's 4 seasons. Crawfish season,crab season,shrimp season and oyster season! Like Rick, i suck the head to get a spice hit. Then you've got the hardcore, dig in with the pinky, get the fat& matter, bunch. I've done it, but, i don't make a habit of it. Call it an acquired taste.

"Suck da heads, squeeze the tails"

Nice self protrait but as I said,
This isn't about liberals

I thought I had their lyrics correct, but I can't say I ever heard them play it when I was "right", so I could be "wrong" :)

Good harvest this year, plenty of "Selects"...Anything less and you're just eating bait.;)

For someone that loathes racisim so much, that sure is a biggoted statement.

Late in the season there is a yellow fatty tissue that develops around the tail that stays in the head when you pinch off the tail and it has a sweet/salty taste. It's one of the main ingredients for making REAL Crawfish Bisque

Jaeesus, there is a God.

Those are some Crawdaddy's fo sho!

Mule? NEVER has this Oregonian seen a crawfish that big. You sure you didn't sneak up to Maine & poach some baby lobsters???

Yep, that's what I'm talking about. We're even having to fish them out of our swimming pool this year. (It's funny watching the dogs decide what to chase around the pool...the crawfish or the Polaris).

But DAMN, those "Crawzillas" are hard to shell though:)!

When I was living in Costa Rica we called them Longostas, I think.

We went crawfishing one time in college in my scuba class (yes they offered scuba as a PE course). So we don our tanks and gear, flashlights in hand and dip into a Texas river. Just grab em when u see em and put em in the bag. We ended up with a decent number, several hundred.

Anyhow, someone caught an extra large one...turns out (after we ate it) that it was actually a fresh water prawn (which is an endangered species), and a female with eggs no less.

WHOOPS!
