154053 Sun Oct 30 22:01:42 -0800 2005 10 12 Boston Area 0 827285 I'm looking for a source of crawfish tails or whole crawfish, to use in a great crawfish cornbread dressing recipe (from Paul Prudhomme's first cookbook). In the past I have been successful at Bread and Circus /Whole Foods, and also Marty's, but this year none of them have it (although, mysteriously, Whole Foods has crawfish salad). Sometimes I've gotten the frozen tail meat and fat, once in a package from a Lousiana crawfish company, labeled "product of China", so I don't think the Louisiana disaster is going to make it impossible this year, but I don't know. If I can find the whole critters I'm happy to pick the meat myself. I've found crawfish meat on the web, but the prices are high and the shipping is exhorbitant. Any tips for a local Boston/western suburbs source would be great. I also tried the 88, with no success. Any sightings?

They look and taste like shelled crawfsh and work great in my jamblaya. They're kind of pricey though. Mon Oct 31 00:35:05 -0800 2005 827285 0 esqdork 2 827295 Oceanfresh in N.

Fri Nov 11 10:32:04 -0800 2005 828289 0 Two Forks 1 827329 Did you check the various frozen food sections at Whole Foods (as opposed to the fresh seafood case)? Mon Oct 31 12:24:43 -0800 2005 827285 0 Christine 1 827332 I saw some at BJs in Framingham last week. Mon Oct 31 12:48:16 -0800 2005 827285 0 Two Forks 2 827376 Was this whole crawfish or just the tails at BJ's? Mon Oct 31 17:21:28 -0800 2005 827332 0 jrgnfly 3 827440 Dunno. I didn't look that closely. They were frozen if that helps. Tue Nov 01 11:59:22 -0800 2005 827376 0 Two Forks 1 827370 Whole Foods in Natick had frozen crawfish on Saturday. Mon Oct 31 16:52:19 -0800 2005 827285 0 liamsaunt 1 827930 The various Market Baskets in my area have had crayfish in the frozen fish section recently. They don't usually stock this, so I think that they might have gotten a shipment as a one-time thing. Sun Nov 06 16:53:24 -0800 2005 827285 0 Ben James Ben
