Yes, once again it's that time of year where these little critters are lovingly harvested from the swamps of Louisiana, carefully transported in little burlap sacks, bathed in salt water baths, and then thrown into a pot of boiling spices, corn and taters.
I love eating bugs. Though you can eat them a multitude of ways, my favorite is a good old fashioned boil with plenty 'o spice. There is nothing like eating tail and sucking head while getting tiny little cuts all over your fingers, and drinking a cold one.
To that end, I'm trying to keep my eyes open for any specials in the area for bugs. Right now, the best price I have seen is $3.99 / lb. at Razoos during happy hour (or all day on Wed.). Usually there will be a few good deals around here down to the $3.00 / lb. range, or an all-you-can-eat deal that gets the price down substantialy for one that has some time to kill and doesn't mind eating 5 to 10 lbs worth of the little buggers.
I'll do a boil later in the season when it warms up and being outdoors is more accommodating, but for now keep your eyes peeled (pun?) and let me know if you see any!
