How?
- Do: Use your hands (and wash them first!). Crawfish are best eaten after being pried apart with your fingers. Do yourself a favor and make sure they’re clean fingers.
- Do: Wear something you can get messy in. This ain’t Easter Brunch at your grandma’s, y’all. Eating with your hands off a paper plate or picnic table is the kind of activity that might just stain your shirt.
- Do: Pair with a Lone Star Beer. Everybody knows that spicy food is best paired with a crisp, refreshing beer that'll wash everything down and still taste delicious once the food is all gone.
- Don’t: Bother with manners. Seriously, pretty much anything goes when you're chowing down. Real OG crawfish experts suck the heads of the crawdaddies - and swear that it’s the best part of the eating experience.
