1. Awesome man ring there BJ.
2. Gotta love any type of cooking that involves a boat oar.
3. Damn that looked good.  How bout some instructions on how we can replicate an 82 lb meal scaled down to about 25lbs?

Louisiana crawfish cooking and funky jazz!  Awesome Jim!

Looks like a fun time!  I've never had em before, but I could probably trap them in my back yard 

Thanks for sharing the good time with us Jim.

Jim, have some good ole boiled peanuts while you are there for me. Have yet to get them right.

Mud buds yumm. I could eat massive amounts. Have fun!

Hungry now. Awesome family time Jim!

What an amazing meal, Jim!  I like the oar technique.

I do one a similar mudbug boil every year.  REALLY easy.  I can't really buy locally here in San Jose but have had good success ordering from lacrawfish.com.  Comes with everything you need, right to your door.

82 lbs is A LOT of crawfish

I'm pretty sure you can order/buy live crawdad's from Race St. Fish and Poultry in San Jose....its on Race St.   This is something I need to do.  Not want, need!  Damn that looks awesome!  Do you guys throw corn and sausage in there as well?  Whats in that bag?  What spices do you use in the water?  I know, I'm a pest with all my questions.  It looks so good! 

Man I miss New Orleans. I was supposed to go in a week but plans changed. My friends are still going and I am jealous. Here is a pic of the boil the last time I was there.

Yeah, so, the video is actually only of the FIRST boil...we had to do all that twice to boil up all the crawfish.

One boil bag per boil that contained sausages, hotdogs, whole cloves of garlic, corn, mushrooms, carrots and new potatoes...in the water there was onions, lemons, and spices and stuff...don't ask me what kind cuz our neighbor Jay wouldn't show me. 

It was a heck of a lot of hot, sweaty work but luckily there was plenty of cold beer available. 

I got home Monday night and still feel like I am recovering. 

Can't wait to get back in the water out here.

ps...bummer you can't make it Victor!

Last time I shopped for bugs Race St. (like a mile from my house) quoted me $15/lb and a 1 week lead time on the order.  I love supporting local businesses but, unfortunately, it was just cost prohibitive in this case.  Also, they couldn't specify a count (size) or origin (Sac-town, LA, etc).

Race St. market is awesome though for fish.  Their dinner specials are good (they sell fish and chips). They also supply Dia de la Pesca on Bascom and Naglee/Taylor.  AWESOME scallop tacos there!
