Talk about making a roux!!!

[mr crab]

My goodness. That sounds like work

[mr crab]

Crawfish potato salad? Just boil the taters in seasoned water? Or are you actually putting tail meat in the tater salad?

Do it every year for the smoking meat forums gathering on fri. We will have 6 250 gal rf smokers fired up sat for the big meal. While they are smoking i will be frying some boudin balls and onion rings for snacks.
All members are invited and there is no charge. we have a bucket for donations and usually get pretty close to covering food cost. Usually some one brings a couple sacks of oysters and 50 lb shrimp. Going to boil some oysters this year and turn them folks onto some fried baby backs.

Fried baby backs blow people's minds when they taste em for the first time. Definitely a crowd pleaser

I get we m all cut and singled out, then let em soak in a big bowl with Louisiana Hot sauce for a Lil bit. Then i pour floor right into that bowl, mix it around with my hand till the flour dries up the hot sauce, and throw em n the grease. Easy. Just fry em a Lil longer after they float.

If you brine them overnight using a 1/4 cup salt diluted into a 1/2 gallon of water they come out much more tender.

Hold on.......boiled oysters?

[eman]

Boil taters n eggs in crawfish boil make your normal tater salad and then dice up tails and mix in
Put a couple dozen oysters in sack and put in hot water after you pull out the crawfish. when the oysters start to open pull them out

[mr crab]
