As a food writer with a passion for discovering hidden culinary gems when reviewing restaurants, I'm always on the lookout for delicious discoveries in unexpected places. Whether it's deli food at a gas station, snacks at the grocery store counter or deli, or delicious creations from new or established restaurants, I'm looking for something full of flavor.
I have a discovery that I would like to share. Back Brusly Grocery. Located in a quiet corner in the heart of a residential area, Back Brusly Grocery is unassuming. Inside, you'll find delicious boiled crawfish with a level of flavor that I'd like to write about. Each bite is infused with a harmonious blend of spices. You can see that great care has been taken. The crawfish was very well seasoned. They were small to medium in size and incredibly juicy. The sausage seems to have a slight sweetness derived from the spices. I love the combination of sweet and savory.
Great food doesn't have to be expensive or have a fancy, bold setting. What matters is the passion and dedication that goes into the food. I have tasted their boiled crawfish many times. Sometimes I only eat once and share a review, but if it's been a while since I've tasted the food, I'd like to eat it again in order to provide an accurate review.
The key to boiling crawfish deliciously lies in the seasoning. Combining the perfect combination of spices for boiling crawfish is an art in itself. That's the flavor infused into the crawfish. If you're familiar with boiling crawfish, you know that they need to soak for a certain amount of time to infuse the flavor throughout. With the right blend of spices and the right soaking time, you'll definitely want more.
Want to know what I discovered years ago about the beginnings of delicious crawfish? If the spice makes you cough too much, I think you need to dilute the seasoned water with a little more water because it's too spicy. If you can barely smell the spices, there isn't enough spice. This is all before adding the crawfish to the seasoned water.
Very well-cooked crawfish is full of flavor. Here in Louisiana, locals look forward to crawfish season. They contribute to Louisiana's economy. It's not just seafood dishes that are served here. It has been part of celebrations for generations. It's a taste and an experience. Even the process of boiling crawfish is an experience that many people look forward to. If the crawfish are already boiled, the process of preparing the meat is also a fun time. Cracking shells, sucking on heads, eating potatoes and sausages to complement meals, and eating other boiled meats are all signs of a good time here in Louisiana.
