Fried Crawfish Tails

What a treat! In the old days, after a crawfish boil, we would sit at the end of our pier at the lake and pop the tails of any leftover crawfish for ettouphee or fried tails. The work was well worth it. Nowadays you can buy the crawfish tails, frozen with the fat, in one pound packages. Make sure you buy the ones from Louisiana.
