Over the weekend, Ray and I stopped by
Central Market. There are only 2 locations in all of Texas and they are both in the Austin area. The local supermarket chain here, HEB, which dominates all of Texas, created Central Market to compete with Whole Foods...which started out in Austin. Central Market has the feel of Whole Foods, but much better. The variety of gourmet foods they have is unsurpassed. Prices are VERY high, but we believe that top quality here is always something you can expect...so, you really do get what you pay for. While there, we decided to check if they had crawfish...and they did. Yay!!! Crawfish boil for us.
We bought 4 pounds and this is the final result. It looks like a lot, but at the end of it all, most of the crawfish is just shell. The meat of the crawfish is really small. You usually finish the meal feeling pissed off because it's not worth all the work.
Needless to say, Ray had the runs after this meal. Not a pretty sight.

yuck
It's not only in Austin, it's in Dallas and Plano Texas also. Can you get the crawfish to go and how much was it for 4 pounds?
Dear "Anonymous #2"...thanks for the correction. The cost for the crawfish was $4.99/pound. And if you don't see it on the floor, ask for the fish monger. The day we went, they had the crawfish in the back.
Damn Ray, why you always breaking down like that. You need to get your plumbing checked out. I seemed to remember Pan and I with our heads out the windows the last time you had a crawfish boil breakdown.
BTW Anna that looks really good. Nice job.
