subsea Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Peeled crawfish are always available. Live crawfish should wait until the end of March. I will be doing some research on crawfish prices as I will be involved in two crawfish boils the later part of March. A week gathering of the Castille Clan at Toleda Bend was one occassion. I had already started the ball rolling on having a Zydeco band with a bunch of Lafayette friends at my house the last weekend of March or the first weekend of April. I will also be hosting the March meeting for ARC, If members want to combine a crawfish boil with the social gathering of the meeting we can do that but I would appreciate some financial help with the crawfiswh. If Sunday would be acceptable, I could combine the crawfish delivery on the same week-end that I host the Zydeco band. Dave, Sorry, but I could not pull together the Cajun ethnic food. I will bring 10 pounds of ribs and 10 pounds of sausage that I will grill. I will also bring two cases of water. I look forward to another gathering of "reeffer madness".

+KeeperOfTheZoo Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is anyone bringing name tags? Patrick, right time of year if the weather is wet the creek on the 100 acres that ties into my place is crawling with crawdads. Nasty little things. My kids like to try and catch them. Years ago we caught one and put it in one of our freshwater tanks. After it ate a couple fish I banded it's claws together. After it molted several times and started looking more like a small freshwater lobster than a crawdad we released it. It was an interesting experience. I much prefer them in creeks and tanks than as food. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Dave and Robin................. Are you set for tomorrow? Can I bring anything more than the Diets and munchies?

subsea Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Liz, Like most things in the food chain, it is either eating something else or it is being eaten. Obviously, we all know that Cajuns eat everything. So there you go. Don't advertise that you have loads of crawfish on your property. You may get a bunch of poachers. Please don't forget to bring two 55 gallon plastic barrels. I look forward to meeting you and your family. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subsea Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 For sure. IF everyone threw $5, how many people would be need to make it worth your while and not drain your pocketbook? As a guesstimate, let me say $50 total. Because of the perisable nature of the crawfish, the transportation and freshness is the real issue. If I can host the ARC gathering on Sunday, I can combine the gathering of the crawfish for a throwdown on Saturday and Sunday. I would also do easy Cajun ethnic foods: boudain, cracklings and hog head cheese (Cajun Pate). It would also be easy to have a crwfish etoufee and perhapes a gumbo or a Creole. I will be organizing two other gatherings during the middle of the March and will know much more about prices at that time. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
