Anyone in the southeast, Publix carried everthing on the list including the crawfish. Sam's making it tonite instead of thursday since that menu is planned and there's no room on the stovetop whatever that means.

use "Florida" instead of "southeast"... not everywhere in the southeast has Publix... but of course, not everybody in the southeast has to actually go all where's waldo to find crawfish.
 
My input about crawfish...........sparkplug is right, the US raised is much better than the chinese. When I make this again, and I will because it is fxxxing awesome, I will only use US raised.

Posting pics tonite of my attempt from last weekend.
 
It was a lot harder finding US raised crawfish.........I had to get it from a fish store in santa cruz. I had the wife's friend bring it to us..........she only got a pound so I had to quickly get another pound which was chinese.

It was good to see, smell and taste the difference.

I bet it will be easier to find US crawfish when the harvest happens in the sacramento river delta.

There is a crawfish farm about ten miles from me. Or, I can just go to the lake and set out traps. As a kid, we used to get them out of ditches. Those buggers are everywhere if you just look.

As a kid, I used to fish a lot of the streams in the Santa Cruz mountains, I always caught more crayfish than trout :D
 
I'm going to get my crayfish out of Skillets backyard. Son caught a bunch upstream a couple years ago. The wife bought lobster last week and we were thinking about sparkys dish, but we didn't have the other goodies.

Did you not get some of the seasoning I brought for you? I brought some for you, Jeb, Shahram, and Nat.

I guess things got mixed up in the sand. If you need some, let me know and I'll send you some.

No, I didn't know you brought it for us. What a guy! My wife found the Tony Catchers today, but she would have to special order the others. I want to pay you for that stuff if you want to send it to me. You rock dude.
