Preparation
  • Wash the crawfish tails very well under cold water.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet.
  • Mix Tony Chachere's with flour.
  • Dredge crawfish through flour mixture.
  • Drop into hot oil.
  • If you are cooking in a skillet, you might need to turn the crawfish once.
  • Cook until golden brown.
Comments
*If you are using live Crawfish, they must be burped in a large tub of salt water. Then you must pull the tails off while the crawfish are alive or the meat will go bad.

My father owned a crawfish pond when I was a teenager and I spent many hours trapping and cooking crawfish. I always liked the simple fried crawfish tails, even though it was hard work to make them. The taste is worth it!
