I last saw the crawfish at a Wal-mart on Hwy 69 in Prescott. But I assume (and you know what happens when you assume) that most Wal-marts carry them in their "fresh" seafood counter. In the Ranch Market at the Chinese Cultural Center, they sell cooked & peeled crawfish tails in frozen 1 lb. bricks. I believe they are from China. I can't look at them without thinking about when a new chef at my Cajun casino client dared to suggest they use them in their restaurant to save a buck. The Cajun/Chitimacha Indian owners are sticklers for authenticity and fired him on the spot.
Here's their menu for Cafe Bayou.

It was named after the oldest tribal member who was pushing 100. They added a big bar next to Mr. Lester's and were looking for a name. I suggested Mo' Lester's, but they didn't buy it.
They have killer martinis...when you drink them, it feels like they are being administered via an I.V. You see the little ice crystals shimmring down...brings a tear to my eye and a drool to my lip just thinking about them.
Yep. Sounds like a Mardi Gras party has gotta make it on the events calendar!
