"crayfish" news and stories

My son Alec, who frequently tags along with Amy and me on our foraging hikes, is camping this week in upstate New York, with my wife Marti, and his cousin Colten. I received a picture mail message today around lunchtime which is displayed here. The caption in the text message read: Your son's catch. Complete with butter and garnish!

Or is it crayfish festival? Either way, you won't find many of these freshwater crustaceans in the finest restaurants anywhere except Cajun country - except, of course, at Aquavit. Evidently, the Swedes love the crayfish, so chef and hottie Marcus Samuelsson is throwing a festival from August 15-21 at his midtown restaurant. The most over-the-top offering is a $100 seven-course crayfish dinner. $100 for crawfish? Wow.
