thats what i thought.

if you let em sit in water for 24 hours before u cook em they will taste a lot better! gives em time to clean out

You can get crawfish at any asian food markets. Hong Kong Market, Truong Nguyen market, Hiep Thai market, and saigon mall. All these food markets is in the garland area.

I know these guys from Boyds Seafood call-in to the Houston 610 AM fishing show almost daily. Usually toward the end of the show. Never been there or seen their crawfish, but they talk up how large their select XL's are. This morning he called in from the road on his way to Louisiana to pick up more mudbugs.

Haha... just saw this. The title says it all. Yeah... it's a shrimp, on a treadmill. Kinda cool really... I wouldn't stop at a shrimp though. I would have to see how a crawfish would hold up... betting it would go down like the treadmill scene from Jack@**

I'm calling BS on this Nightfisher fella. A lot of people have kindly asked where these were purchased at and so far he has just ignored all request. If it's a secret then he should just say so. But to ignore people just reflects poorly on his character. Lot of people on this forum are extremely helpful, but this fella just pops up every once in a while to brag about how good a cook he is then disappear. So enjoy your crawfish Mr Nightfisher, I just figure out how to put your posts on "Ignore".

Wow, yeah you got me there, these crawfish are all fake. **rolleyes** You know I post alot of threads on this forum during my day job as a webmaster (I cook at a restaurant at night). I rarely check back in this section. This is the photo section (show off section), not report section. I do go back and reply under the recipes section, especially in pm's. I mostly frequent the bank fishing section, thats where i spend most of my time.

Im sorry you're fraustarted, but if you were truly a "CAJUN" you would know where to find large size crawfish. The location isnt a SSSSSSSL. Any crawfish enthusiast would know where to get them. You don't have to have to have this kind of temperment and throw a fit.

I am going to kindly tell everyone where to get them. Go to an vietnamese ASIAN supermarket and pick up a special yellow sack called JUMBO. These JUMBO bags have been graded and all of these crawfish are jumbo size. These are available during hot days during the peak of the season. The place I got mine was called Hiep Thai in Garland off walnut and jupiter. If the store don't have them, call in advance to order. It would help if you spoke vietnamese too. These things go FAST!!!! Vietnamese love thier crawfish. If you dont believe me, go to Pappadeuxs on mondays and tuesdays. Half of the restaurant ( sometimes 3/4) are filled with Asian customers.

Ok, now that I have shown everyone here how to get jumbo sized crawfish... I better see some pictures of a these guys cooked.

Ninja Edit: Price 3.99 per lb (alwas expect about $1 more per pound over regular bags)

Also, if you want a recipe for crawfish boil? Do a search as i've posted the full recipe here already on TFF. Feel free to PM me for a recipe that will destory all recipes you find online.

I hope you are kidding. If not, you should read TNF's posts more often before you type...

Dude, don't get your panties in a wad. People get busy.

NightFisher, thanks for the info on the market man. I love seeing your posts, even if they are rare. In fact, I prefer them that way, otherwise they would get old. Hope the mudbugs turn out well.

looks like the ones we would catch on the brazos below whitney

If putting up delectibly righteous food posts makes you an a-hole.

Well, Lee. Congratulations.

Don't player hate. Player appreciate!!!
