tell me what butter does?
Makes the crawfish easier to peel.
there is plenty of fat in crawfish. Butter does nothing but give you skum at your waterline. and its a waste of butter...butter is better used else where.

100%. I can eat ten crawfish in the time that it takes my friends from Texas to eat one.

My Texas crew is starting to come around to it. My first ever boil here we had 40 people and i had so many left over from 2 sacks i thought my fingers were going to bleed from peeling them.
Fast forward three years and the same crew crushed 4 sacks with zero left overs.

A couple in our neighborhood own LA Crawfish. She is Viet and the man is a regular white guy and a battalion chief with HFD, if I’m not mistaken.

East Texas for sure. I had a Air Force buddy that lived near San Antonio that never ate them his entire life.

Pfftt, seems like it wants to be Gaza more than anything. Only US city offering Halal wings. Texas is done.

M & M Fruge own Fruge Aqua Farms and have been shipping to Dallas for 25 years. Mike also has a restaurant and at one time he would fly his plane up once a week to Dallas.
There are hundreds of trucks on I10 running crawfish to Texas daily right now.

If you live on the Northeast side of Houston, you need to try Han's. They are currently parked at the Frio Grill on Mueschke. Better than any crawfish I've eaten in Louisiana growing up. Basically the same Louisiana boil with all your typical fixings but adding butter into the boil along with minced garlic...my goodness.
I can vouch for Han’s Crawfish, I’ve been going for years, it’s definitely legit.
It’s Cypress/NW Houston though, not northeast

quote:dear Jesus. I am saying that your farmers and fisherman put TX vendors as #1 before giving you the scraps. You got family relationships and ties to get good stuff, great… throw you an extra sack here and there.
For argument sake, every crawfish sold in texas, was first sold in louisiana.

True, but the Houston demand is so great we are only able to supply a small % her in the triangle, most of the crawfish in Houston are out of LA. It’s a huge market. Not to mention the “Crawfish Mafia” over in LA sets wholesale prices for the entire Gulf Coast.

It varies year to year as we try places that friends recommend. I was talking about Woodson’s on 1488 with the loaded option and those cheese ravioli mixed in.
