What it s like to eat takeout crawfish at home.
Juicy Crawfish
With crawfish season now fully underway, I m happy to report my first consumption of the year at this Westbury-area spot (hey, I m keeping it local to start). Prices were pretty high to start the 2021 campaign (just two pounds of mudbugs with one corn, potatoes, and a half-pound of sausage cost close to $35), but for it still being winter, I didn t mind much. About 95 percent of the crawfish were big and meaty enough to eat, while Juicy Crawfish s medium-spiced Cajun flavor hit me with just the right dose of garlicky heat. My little kids even enjoyed a couple of crawdads.
