I lived in New Orleans for a while and, loving all things shellfish, found myself jonesing for a crawfish fix. I went on the web to do a little investigating, and I found that there was actually more than one place in Westminster's Little Saigon to encounter crawfish boiled up, cajun style.

So, I went there with my dining partner, Lady Kvisto, to initiate her into the ways of the craw. There were some quite auspicious signs from the beginning. We were ushered to a wall-adjacent table below and aside a vintage beer can collection, our particular table being next to a empty container from the now defunct "New Orleans Original" JAX Beer Company. Then, I find out crawfish is running $7 a pound (I think back in NOLA they charged more like $3-4), but being happy hour, we were offered 'buy two pounds, get one free!' They typically offer blue crab or dungeness crab at a few bucks more per pound, but on the downside they were out that day. Also, I would have loved to wash the spicy mudbugs down with cold beer, but our waitress told us they were still waiting on their liquor licence and it would be another month.
