To all Cajuns and/or wannabe Cajuns in the DFW area: Need some crawfish? Some live, creepy-crawly, delicious melt-in-your-mouth crawfish? Fruge Aquafarms, just outside Rayne, has a warehouse in Grand Prairie where they keep live crawfish just shipped from Louisiana on their way to shipment across the country, and you can evidently go pick up your crawfish there cheap — maybe a buck or two a pound.
That’s a hell of a lot cheaper than what you pay if you buy your crawfish pre-peeled or get it shipped direct from the bayou. (I know all this scoop because my cousin Pam works at Fruge’s and I had some of my uncle’s 70 pounds in Rayne on Easter Sunday.)
Now I just need a big pot, a lot of butane, some old newspapers, and some Zatarain’s to make a weekend complete.
Do you suck the heads?
I know this post is almost a year old, but I thought I'd see if you had any contact info for the Grand Prairie location of Fruge Aquafarms.
If so, please email me. (remove the "NOSPAM" from my email address).
