Yes, I'm from Arizona. Born and raised. But I do have a lot of family who come from the east and quite a few who come from Louisiana and the surrounding states.
And yes, crawdads are a lot of work, but if made correctly they are soooo good. There used be a great place to go fish for them, but now it's suggested you get them from the farm that raises them. You can fish for them personally to if you want.
Anyways, crawdads are good, even if I balk at the fact that they stare at you as you remove the head.
Okay, back on topic. Those who protest eating meat because of the way the farms treat their animals are blowing hot steam. They know that if we start doing things differently it's going to rack up the price for the meat. Thank you, but no. As it is, I get my meat from a butcher. No added salt to the meat.
