Crash: What?
Voice: (mumbling) Mr. CrackedDiver?
Crash: Who is it?
Voice: [pause] Flowers.
Crash: Flowers for whom?
Voice: [long pause] Plumber, sir.
Crash: I don't need a plumber. You're that clever lobster shark, aren't you?
Voice: [pause] Candygram.
Crash: Candygram, my foot. You get out of here before I call the police. You're the lobster shark, and you know it.

All part of the Quality Control Department. I will be submitting a detailed review of the baked stuffed lobsters following consumption tomorrow. Remember....this is a public service that Ken and I have unselfishly offered the forum.

Crawfish are better. Atleast they're not on steroids.

Being one that could eat his own weight in crawfish, I won't argue that boiled crawfish and crawfish etouffee are two of my favorite Coonass delicacies, but crawfish and lobster are two entirely different tastes.

I gained 22 pounds when I holidayed in Louisiana a couple years back. I ate etouffee everything, catfish etouffee being my favorite. I think I was the skinniest fat guy down there though - I can see why.

I'm wondering if you had catfish court boullion (pronounced ku-be-on). Did it have tomatoes or tomato sauce in it Bragg?

I dont think so, just sauce with crawfish tails in it. The best place we ate was in Lafayette at a cajun restaurant. Only thing I wasn't keen on was frogs legs.....not my cup of tea. Oh, and the only vegetables we could find in the entire state was corn cobs and sweet potato dripping with butter and brown sugar.

We toured the whole state in a motor home checking churches and graveyards looking for relatives when our family split back east and eating. Good times for sure.

Is that a typo then in your post where you say "catfish etouffee"? Only reason I ask is because (and especially the Lafayette area), most of what is done with catfish is either fried or catfish court bouillion or what's called a "sauce piquant".
Crawfish etouffee is easy to make. You can substitute shrimp, although it's not quite as tasty.

Cajun Swamp Hunter may be able to tell us what the standards are for that area. I think he is from that general area. My ancestors are from south of Lafayette, I grew up further southwest of there.

Man... I have to stay away from conversations about food...

OK guys and gals, here’s the review.

Items reviewed: Two 2 ½ lb baked, stuffed lobsters


Lobsters were shipped by Ken from the Venus de Milo Restaurant in Wansea, Massachusetts. In the brochure that came with the lobsters there was a quote fro Emeril Lagasse that said “The best baked stuffed lobster in Southern New England.” I’d have to say that Emeril was wrong. This was absolutely the best lobster that I have ever eaten. TDW agrees. You will note in the third picture that Wilderness Survival Forums are being paid homage. Thanks again Ken, they were great!

[Tahyo]

Crash!!! I'll trade you bbq for those!!! Man does that look good!

[crashdive123]

I'll let you negotiate that with Ken. But boy oh boy were they good.

[Rick]

(kicks chat) Well, the least you could do is post the recipe.

(mumbles to self) I still want to know who's checkin' the checkers. Ain't right.

[crashdive123]

No recipie needed. They came fully prepared. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes and eat. Man - I'm still full.

[Rick]

Man - I'm still full. Blah, blah, blah.

Apparently this whole thing was setup via PM. I find it wholly inappropriate for other younger members of the forum, and think it should be censored as vulgar and pornographic. It should be moved to PM. thhppppppt!
