If it’s one thing I miss living in L.A., it’s the crawfish at Boiling Crab. The annual Cajun Fest at the Amana RV Park and Event Center at the Amana Colonies was a much needed event to satisfy my mad craving of crawfish.There’s no the-whole-she-bang sauce here, but there is crawfish, beer, and music.
After we bought our admission and our Cajun Cash tickets, we headed straight to the good eats.
Me: Two trays of crawfish, please.
Vendor: Ah, a tray of crawfish.
Me: No, that’s two trays of crawfish.
Vendor: Two? *raises eyebrow*
Me: Yes, two. (one each for the two of us)
Vendor: ….
I didn’t think that eating a tray of crawfish per person was a big deal at all…until we walked around and saw that most small groups usually just ordered one bowl of crawfish per person or 1 tray of crawfish per small family. But, forget Cajun Fest. norms! I wanted to eat my tray of crawfish. Discerning looks from those passing by didn’t stop this petite L.A. girl from eating a tray of crawfish.
After eating our trays of crawfish, we still had room for alligator bites.
It was crispy. It tasted like….chicken. Deep fried chicken nuggets, to be exact. The good eats at the Cajun Fest. was a great way to satisfy my crawfish craving. Now, if I only had the-whole-she-bang sauce…..
Other tips
- Stop by the ATM before you go. It’s cash only.
- Wear shoes suitable for getting dirty in the mud, in case of a rainy day.
- Like making a lemon + salt + pepper dipping sauce for your crawfish? Ask for slices of lemon at the lemonade stand.
