Now I know a midwest boy who grew up in Michigan ain't got no right judging crawfish in Louisiana. I am going to do my best to give my honest opinion.
Damn those little mud bugs were delicious. Everything I ever dreamed of and more. I'd been waiting to get my fill for a while now and I finally visited the mecca of crawdaddies. Let me level with you here, for good measure I did get a taste of home boiled crawfish in the country on Easter Sunday, so I had a great bearing point.
As sides I chose sausage and mushrooms. I think I'll forever remember that smokey pork flavor accompanied by all the seasoning from the boil. Regular style crawfish were perfect in my opinion, seasoned well, and had a light dusting after they had taken their bath. Wash them down with a couple cold Corona's and say no more. Do yourself a favor and order some king crab legs for the table, you won't regret it!
I was schooled on making my own dipping sauce. Pretty much every step of the way I was doing it wrong in my better half's opinion but it turned out just fine for my liking. I had practice peeling from my first boil and everyone had their two cents about how to best extract that delicious meat from the tail. Before I knew it I was twisting, peeling, dipping, and getting that golden fat from the heads.
The service was great. The staff were a younger bunch due to the relatively short time crawfish are available catering to the seasonal worker. Our waitress was prompt and very informative for those who aren't familiar (me) with this type of fare. Great experience, awesome food, loving Louisiana.
