Should have got crawfish.
Should have got crawfish.
Dude, crawfish are the most vile animals.
Honestly, they have to be the most disgusting animal that humans eat.
After dissecting them, I learned that the parts that people eat are mostly lungs, digestive glands and stuff, and gonads.
There are two cord-like muscles that run along the back, about .5cm in diameter, and that's about the only "meat" in them.
I mean, I used to love them, but after dissecting them, I simply will not eat those things
I've seen it done.

Well, it ended up great! I cooked everything else first, boiling the shrimp for a few minutes at the end. Then I rigged up the basket, put half a can of Old Bay on the crabs, and steamed them with the water from the boil.
I was going to but at $3.99 a pound, and with only two of us who eat them, I figured it wasn't worth the effort. As for the head sucking thing, I tried it at a Chinese buffet (of all places) last time I had them. Not bad, probably much better with a good flavorful broil.
See below:
Yep, the seafood was only $100 or so. The stockpot, utensils, burner and a propane tank (I only grill with charcoal so needed a cylinder) were roughly $250. The other $150 went to beer, Boone's Farm, vegetables and seasonings, and grillables such as burgers, boudin and southern-style hot dogs.
A few months ago $200 got five of us each a small seafood entree, a couple appetizers and perhaps one drink apiece.
We bought 40 lbs of cooked crawfish last week. It was like $180. They are expensive right now.
