I love trying new food but had to draw the line when it came to sucking the head of a crawfish at Mardi Gras. I watched them load the basket with live craws, put them in the boil, and pull them out. When that guy broke it in half and sucked the head CLEAN, I almost puked. "That's where all the flavor is" he says. Well I could do without all that yellow and green "flavor". After flicking off the yellow bits, I ate the tail and it was ok...not great..but ok. I love raw oysters, have tried gar, I absolutely love alligator and snapping turtle. I'm more than willing to try to an Asian carp if someone close by provides it.
