You've got a lot of good eat'n to do my friend. :D

[Jeff]

Oh Boy!! 8)

[WDH]

My lips are burning just looking at that :D. 

[Jeff]

I wish my lips were burning just eating it!

Southern finger food, where is the adult libation?

So what do people call those little critters?  I've always heard them called crawdads.

Depends where you live. 
Crawdads or crawfish seem to be the American names, but in Aussie they are "yabbys" and in NZ "koura" All slightly different species, but all edible. Generally they are all considered "Freshwater Crayfish"

Mud bugs in Louisiana

I have a surprising amount of crawdads living in the yard... How, literally, do you eat them? Just crack them open like a crab or do you just eat back meat and claw meat? Or...?

[Texas Ranger]

Those would be real mud bugs,and would need to be cleaned.  Clean ones here:  boil, pinch the tail, suck the meat out, then suck the head for the liver.   Takes some adult beverage to get it just right.

[aigheadish]

Mud bugs indeed. I didn't realize how many were out there until I learned that the weird holes that were sprouting up in the yard were from them and the last big rain we had the wife and I walked around and without looking saw about 20 scurrying about. My guess is I'll continue not eating them.

[Magicman]

Yup, it was Crawfish time again today:


 
Marty went with us.



Gotta get the picture taking done before you start eating.  

Where is @Jeff when I really need him??   :D

[SwampDonkey]

You've got quite a plate full to work on. :D

[Magicman]

That was only the first flat.  :D

[Jeff]

Lawdy I wishes I was der!

[Magicman]

@Jeff We dug in again last evening:



This is less than half of the spread. 

[Jeff]

Yum!  8)

[customsawyer]

They shut down main street in Dublin, GA. yesterday all afternoon and cooked up 2500 LBS. of fresh mud bugs from Louisianan. Yes I just about hurt myself and had a great time.

 

[Magicman]

Just a family Crawfish eating today:

First there was Sausage on da grill and then:

30# of Crawfish, 5# of Shrimp, plus da Corn and Taters along with Cole Slaw.

I have no idea how many plates of Crawfish I ate.

[Jeff]

Oh my! 

[B.C.C. Lapp]

I've never ate them but i would certainly like to try them.   Looks like something that goes real good with cold beers.

[Magicman]

These were quite large and the price had dropped over 1/2 since early season.  These were $5.95 per pound.

[Magicman]

Yup, Crawfish again:

Three 150 quart coolers of Boiled Crawfish.

Two coolers of Corn.

Two coolers of Red and White Potatoes.

Garlic.

Three trays of different Sausages.

Mushrooms.
