Published in 2022. The author of this piece still feels the same way. 🦐🤢-- Crawfish: The Southern tradition that makes my skin crawl - KPRC2 crawfishseason
crawfish. I cannot do any kind of fish or thing that swims in the ocean or lake or river or other body of water and I especially cannot consume something associated with mud.I know this is not the popular opinion. The God of the Sea, Neptune, already has my invite for the next crawfish boil cancelled. And likely my neighbors and friends too. That’s really OK, though. Here’s why. I can’t enjoy anything when I’m around crawfish. There’s too much unsavory stuff going on.
The cracking and hands and general unappetizing nature of the whole dining experience went against everything I’d learned as a child. Somehow the most genteel southern folks I’d ever known -- who got upset when I didn’t address them as ma’am -- were breaking and biting and sucking on these dangling creatures like they’d never heard of a fork before. The cognitive dissonance did something to my child brain that has stayed with me. And seriously, I can’t stomach it.
And the smell. Help me, lord, the smell. I’m transported just thinking about it, and that place is not good.
