Rumors of the freshwater Crawfish to be found in the surrounding glacial lakes prompted Mr. Rocky Point to start laying traps. Much to my surprise he came back with about 3 dozen Montana crawfish. You never really think about crawfish in Montana but in New Orleans we use them as much as we possibly can while they are in season.
The Crawfish that we have been trapping are much darker in contrast to the murkey red mudbugs from Louisiana. Hopefully, as the weather and water warms we will be able to procure them in greater numbers.
For now, we have them soaking and we will be enjoying the few that we have in a bisque and most importantly stuffing the heads! Get a first hand look at the Crawfish in the video below.

that brought back memories of my crawfish boil about a month ago and the horrors associated with it--killing the bugs as they tried to escape from the pot and watching their beady little eyes on me in the purging tub..ahhhhh!!!!
