There is a time and place for crawfish, and typically for me, that is a bit later in the year.

But then photographer @davidgrunfeld proposed an outing to check in with Jason Seither at @seithers_seafood in Harahan.

And, just like picking up a whiff of an appetizing scent you’ve been missing, the suggestion swiftly became a compulsive craving.

Soon they will be much bigger and cost less. But this was a joy - like watching football again after a season off.

And there was also the time spent snapping tails and peeling shells and talking with friends at the table, a part of the crawfish experience as integral as cayenne.

Friday longnecks were easily justified. The pace of a busy week slowed pleasurably.

Most of the photos here by David, the plated dishes (fried redfish over crawfish pasta, and crawfish queso) snapped by me.
