Don't let the pics fool you. This meal is up there with some of the best food I have ever eaten. Crawfish Etouffee, red beans and fresh picked strawberries

I’ll take an order

… coonasses know how to cook… no doubt about it

Sorry….Cajun food ain’t all it’s cracked up to be…….I’ll take a steak or hamburger or pork chop. Or most anything else.

I’d eat till I had the gout so bad I couldn’t walk lol

I bet frog Legs would go good in that and Snapping Turtle Chopped up as well!!!

Another order here

When I lived and worked out of Opelousas, a place called the Cajun Catfish Hole had the best crawfish etouffee and catfish.Makes my mouth water thinking about it.

Love frog legs and deep fried catfish and carp

Okies...A few of years ago I was on a hunting lease in Oklahoma. The family that owned the land took me out for dinner one night, and said this place was going to be the best food I ever had. A decent steak, baked potato and a salad. Hmm, okay. They wanted to go offshore fishing and I had them meet me at my family's restaurant on lower Bayou Lafourche, before I took them to the camp on Grand Isle. The older son asked if the seafood was fresh, i couldn't believe he asked that. We went to the dock in the back of the restaurant where they were unloading shrimp and crabs off the boat. My cousin was unloading a hamper of crabs and I told him that Yankee boy asked if the seafood was fresh. He threw a live crab at him. Now I never seen people eat that much seafood at one sitting like them Okies! They went nuts. When we finished, I took them too the camp. We had grilled Mangrove Snapper with crawfish cream sauce, stuffed flounder, and fried soft shell crabs. They tore it up.

Next day we get out into the pass off Grand Isle and one of my cousins was doing a push, called me and said the "footballs" (black fin tuna) where all over his nets. I got to his boat and we hammered the black fins, We also loaded up on Bonita, which we needed for bait. They were seasick and worn out, I told them that it wasn't even 0700 and we just caught bait, and had to go another 40 plus miles offshore. That day we hammered the red and Vermillion snapper, wahoo, dolphin (mahi to you people up north) and yellow fin tuna. I took them back to the camp and I cleaned fish, they took showers, and cooled off. Between seasickness and the sun they were done. That night we cooked crawfish etouffee' over fresh mahi, they all of a sudden became better and they tore it up. Next day it was oyster omelets and bourbon milk punch, and off we went again. That night we ate all sorts of stuff and drank some good drinks. They quickly found out that this wasn't anything special for them, as we eat like this everyday.

After that trip I ended up having to cook for them and their friends whenever I went hunting up there, and it got to the point where I spent more time cooking than hunting. I love a good steak or hunk of pork too, but ...Je pense que vous n'avez jamais mangé de vraie nourriture créole acadienne, non?

Good story! Thanks for the interesting read. The food you prepare and eat sounds right up my alley.If I was in the neighborhood I would come over for dinner even without an invite
