Something fishy here..

Do you do this? When you go out to eat, you look at what the waitress is bringing to other people's tables to see what you might like besides what you ordered. I do that a lot.
That being said, recently I went to a restaurant then kind of has a Cajun flair to it. In fact, one of the things they are most popular for is crawfish. Or as they're also known, mud bugs.
I am not going to go into why they are referred to as mud bugs. But I will say on this particular evening my friend and I went specifically because they were having a mud bug eating contest. And although I try not to be too judgy about what other people are eating. And even though my friend does like to eat these crawfish. I think they're absolutely disgusting.
I can remember as a child going down to the creek and looking for these little animals. It would never have occurred to me then to eat one, so why would I eat one now?
I'm going to take a moment to tell you specifically what I like in Seafood type dishes. I do not, I repeat do not eat fish. Why? Because it's fishy. True story.
But I will eat crab legs. I will eat shrimp. I will eat lobster. I also like scallops. Mostly shell fish. But not the fishes with the big eyeballs and big hanging open mouths. Blah!
I went to a restaurant recently and they had steak and lobster on special. Because, let's face it. That is a splurge. Of calories and of the pocket book.
And I do like the texture of lobster because it's a lot like shrimp but much bigger. And my friend asked me how I can eat lobster and not eat crayfish. I just stared at him. The texture is nothing alike. The smell is nothing alike. The presentation is nothing alike. So there.
 It's not seasoned up all Cajun style. And it's my business. So there again.
I might add that I absolutely love to eat crab legs. Yes, you have to crack them all open to get to the meat inside. But it's worth it. That sweet meat dipped in butter. It makes my mouth just want to explode with joy thinking about it.
And shrimp. I prefer coconut shrimp. But will do the peel and eat variety. or even just some little fried up shrimpies. Yummy goodness. 
I guess I've said it many times before. Everybody is not going to like the same thing. And even though I'm not afraid to try new things. I will leave my friend to the mud bugs or the Crawfish or whatever you want to call it. And I will stick with the things that I enjoy. At least as far as the food goes. 
Other things, you just never know.
If I try something new. I will be sure to write about it and tell you every detail right here. I just wanted to clarify though. That fish is indeed fishy.
Until next time.
 Eat well.

 Blah!                                               Yum!
