re: Hawk's Crawfish

It is actually not a red-skinned boiled potato. It is a small regular potato, and they cut it open and serve it like a baked potato, but with butter only. They say it has a special process under which it's boiled, to give the interior a "creamy" texture.


When I first started going there 5 or 6 years ago, it was $17.95 for 5 lbs. No one really knew about the place back then. It has gone up in price every year, as hype as spread. Also, the crawfish were HUGE back then. Not only was Hawk's the BEST crawfish, but they also had the BIGGEST crawfish. Last night they were really average in size, and prices were higher than ever.

I have never minded paying the high prices before, but it has really gotten out of hand. Kinda like Drago's... the prices for a dozen charbroiled oysters has increased over the years, but they're so damn good that I keep on paying it. I don't think I'll be back to Hawk's for a while.
