Crawdads


This is a bit of a highjack, but the best crawdads I ever ate came from Tahoe, and Donner Lake in the Sierras.
They are larger, and sweeter than the mudbugs from lower elevation!

Crawdads


Sources tell me that nothing could compare to a Louisiana crab boil.

Obviously, BajaNomad needs to host a crawdaddy cook-off! No pelagic reds need apply.

Sounds like even they didn't like them.

I was about to apologize for passing on old crawdad info (mid 70s), but then I remembered whose thread I was responding to. Oh well....I am pleased when I can remember pleasant parts of my past.
I don't know if the pier we used to drop our traps from is still in existance!

Best Chinese dish for crabs that I have ever run across is...

...Crab Rangoon. Best served with plum sauce.

The news in San Diego this morning is reporting that the red crab are washing up on Ocean beach. Took them a month to drift up here from Ensenada. My take on it is that if the ocean waters support the lower levels of the food chain (plankton, pelagic crabs, clam eggs) that is a good thing.
