So I went to this cajun place the other day and they have an interesting way of serving food. Its more of a family venture considering you're stuck ordering a "Bag" of food which you are limited to choosing the type of seafood pretty much. There are other things on the menu but this is the main reason people go here.

So the sauce that they cool the food in is amazing. I have no idea what it is though or how to recreate it. Can someone help me here figure out what it is that they used to create their sauce. All I have is pictures of similar places on the internet. Meaning that this sort of style restaurant is semi popular and that one of you may know what i'm getting at.

This is what it looks like as you're digging in. As you can see it comes in a bag and they have trash bags on the table effectively making it your plate. The meal I had came with potatoes, corn, sausage, crawfish, and shrimp.

Are you sure it's not just butter added after taking the food out of the boil?

I'm extremely tempted to go get a job there just to figure out their secrete recipe and quit as soon as I know. They are hiring but its extremely busy and I hate dealing with that shit.

"Cajun" place
Flyovers are so fucking cringe worthy. Say you went to a seafood place

>zatarain's
is that all it is? They let me bring home the sauce I had on the side and I used it for chicken stir fry and sandwiches and shit. If so, i'm going to go buy some right away. I'm sure i'll have to fuck with the contents a bit though.

Here's how you boil crawfish.


Grab:
Garlic
Potatos
Crawfish
Corn

Throw the shit in a pot and boil


Take it out
Throw it on the table
Rub your eyes on accident

There is no decent place that serves crawfish in my area so I never had it. How are you supposed to eat the little critters? Aren't they mostly shell? Do you just bite in?

I live in DC. Sounds like you have autism or something. Seafood place is extremely vague, it can mean many things. This is definitely different than any "seafood" place i've been to. Ironically I can see you calling a Thai, Japanese, or Vietnamese restaurant as an asian or Chinese place probably like a flyover.

yeah because it's what people expect to taste if you're in the south. you can experiment with your own, but if you look up what's in their stuff try starting with that.

pinch the tail, suck the head

Twist them in half and suck out the contents. The tail is mostly meat but the head has tasty organ bits.

As much as I like the crawfish bag thing they had going, my intention was to get my hands on the sauce. I don't have a large pot right now to be able to cook this dish. Plus if I was to do it, i'd have to have crab and shrimp. Although I like it, crawfish is a lot of work for a little bit of meat.

well thanks for the help, i'm on the way to the store to see if they sell it. Trader joes or whole food might have something like that. I'm probably going to have to order it online like you mentioned though.

np. start with that and work your way out. you can pretty safely make the dry mix yourself by googling the recipe, but the liquid boil stuff would be hard to fake

>I live in a place with a large Vietnamese population.

So....? I see all sorts of Vietnamese and Asians here. Its one of the benefits of not living in "flyover country". I can enjoy every cuisine and because its rich as fuck, we get quality places, not some shit shop calling itself pho while selling spam meatballs with grocery store broth.

Or did you fail greentexting and were trying to say that DC is infiltrated with foreigners? Well its the capital of the US so lots of foreigners are here for business purposes.
DC is flyover country now? Pretty sure its almost literally polarized in the other direction by definition. Its cute when kids misuse memes to fit in. No one thinks you're cool on the internet sweetheart.
