When I was child growing up in East Texas,I did not eat Craw Fish. Kids would play with crawfish like pets. They did not look too good to eat.Well...until I met a guy who lived in New Orleans who change the menu.
I was invited to go to meet his family in New Orleans, you know that place is known for a lot of seafood. He took me to the seafood market and low and behold that was a big display of Crawfish.
He ask me to try one of those little guys that had been cook and season. (I said, I'm good).He stated if you love me like I love you. you will try one... I tasted one and guess what?? I Married him.
