Q: Crawfish Tail Meat

Should you cook crawfish with the fat contained in the package or should the fat be rinsed off first?

A: Cher, if you rinse that fat off, you might as well just throw the whole bag in the bayou and eat a piece of cardboard instead. Down here in Louisiana, we call that yellow gold. If you told a Cajun grandmother you were rinsing your crawfish meat in the sink, she’d probably swat you with a wooden spoon before you could turn the faucet on. Here is the gospel on crawfish fat: 1. That ain't "gunk," it's flavor That yellow "fat" is actually the hepatopancreas. It’s where all the concentrated, buttery, briny goodness lives. If you rinse it away, you’re washing the soul of the crawfish down the drain. You’ll be left with nothing but tough little nuggets of meat and a dish that tastes like... well, nothing. 2. It's the secret to the sauce You want a real Etouffée? You need that fat. It melts down into your roux and stock to create a rich, velvety sauce that coats the back of a spoon. Without it, your gravy is going to look thin and pale, and your ancestors will be disappointed in you. 3. Don't be "precious" about it I know, some folks from up North see that yellow color and get a little nervous. Don't be. Once it hits the heat of the black iron skillet, it blends right in. It’s not "fishy"—it’s rich. The Bottom Line: Open the bag, pour the meat and every single drop of 그 fat right into the pot. That’s how we do it if we want it to taste right.

Q: Does your crawfish include the fat from the crawfish? Does your crawfish include the fat from the crawfish?

A: Yes it does include the fat.

Q: In a 1/2-cup (4 oz.) serving of your crawfish tail meat, what is the sodium content (mg.)? In a 1/2-cup (4 oz.) serving of your crawfish tail meat, what is the sodium content (mg.)?

A: The total package has 160 mg so therefore if you divided it by 4 each 4 oz would have approximately 40 mg of sodium

Only Louisiana tailmeat will do. This is the best, shell free, lots of fat, and delicious. I don't use anything else.

Louisiana crawfish taste and quality from Cajun Grocer is far superior to any other. My crawfish arrived frozen solid and carefully packed in dry ice.

More expensive but much better quality and size than the Asians imports and lacking the lead and other chemicals . I no longer buy outside the US if possible
