Let me start off by saying that we have been to Swampy's before and eaten crawfish that was perfectly cooked.\r
Today my sister, her fiance, and I decided to go back to Swampy's because we wanted to eat crawfish.\r
We ordered 5 lbs and as we were trying to peel it I noticed how extremely difficult it was to peel, how dark red it was, and how tough the meat tasted.\r
The shells were breaking off in pieces instead of unwrapping with ease like all other crawfish I've eaten in the past.\r
On top of the shells breaking apart and cutting our fingers, the meat would not come out in one piece. It literally broke off in pieces as you tried pulling it from the shell.\r
The taste of the meat was very rough, like over cooked shrimp. \r
I had mentioned to our waitress that they were over cooked and she said ""oh it's because they're so big""\r
I'm sorry but size has nothing to do with the cooking. I;ve eaten large crawfish before that wasn't like rubber to eat. \r
I even asked the table sitting behind us who had also ordered crawfish if they thought it was overcooked and the first thing one of them said was ""ya and too difficult to peel, I've already cut my finger and I'm p*ssed""\r
\r
needless to say, we won't be going there from now on for Crawfish...even if it is cheaper.
Pros: decent price
Cons: crawfish way over cooked, bland oysters
