I was just wondering how many of you fellers have had 'em? If you haven't, you don't know what you are missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been seeing the posts with the Morrel Mushrooms and I'm jealous, because they are miles from where I live, and I haven't never had any.................

Been quite a few years, but down in Lafayette my son and me hung out for a day on our way to Houston to my neices wedding. We went to a restaurant with live music and a dance floor, and ordered crawfish. They brought us one of the biggest bowls I've ever seen, loaded to the brim with crawfish. Man it tokk us hours to eat all of them, because it was the off season, and they were smaller than normal. Man, that was some great eats.

I love the little white mushrooms boiled in all the seasoning! Wonder what the Morels would do in the seasoning? Oh, and hot dogs, deer sausage, corn(on the cob or in a can), potatoes, onions, oranges, lemons, garlic, cauliflower, broccoli, the possibilities are endless.........

Crawfish, gulf shrimp, blue crab, red skin potatoes, and ears of corn all boiled in the same big pot of crab boil with a bit of extra cayenne added.  Boil the potatoes and corn on a big propane cooker till done, throw in your bugs and crab, then the last 3 minutes throw in your shrimp.  Cut it off and let it steep a while then pour everything into a giant wire basket collendar and everyone reach in and get what you want.  Good Stuff Shaw Nuff, IIIII EEEEEEE!  :icon_thumright:

Looks like I won't be eating them nearly as much this year if they stay around the $3 per pound (live) price range. Hopefully we'll have a decent amount of em in the swamp this year and I can catch some with the puddle nets.

I plan on getting about 80 pounds when I get back to the house next week. I've been craving them for the last few days. Nothing like having over some good friends and chowing down on some mud bugs. I usually end up getting in a fight though with whoever decides to grab the last mushroom out of the batch though. I love them seasoned mushrooms. Dang my mouth is watering!

That's the way I remember them when I grew up in Louisiana.  Just add some beer and you are set.

I like seafood of all kinds.  I am not discrimitory. ;D  It's poor mans lobster.  We got them by the 50# bag from Deanies seafood in New Orleans when I was in the reasturant business there.  They are fantastic.

Love it. My wife's family is from Morgan city and twice he have gone to the crawfish festival in Breaux Bridge. They all pick on me for being a Yankee but I can twist, peel, suck-um down o.k for a guy who is from Buffalo.
