I was reading crawfish bisque recipes and came upon this comment on a site.

quote:

I added crawfish puree that I get from T seafood in St. Martinsville. This is my secrete ingredient. Puree is cooked crawfish that is run through a machine that extrudes everything, meat,fat and juices and separates the shells. I used about 4 pounds of this which really gave the bisque a strong crawfish flavor.


Anyone familiar with this product?

I have that machine. It's called my mouth.

I think my sister-in-law got some at one of the small local grocery stores around Baton Rouge one day after trying a sample of a crawfish dip made with it. It may have been frozen or refrigerated, I can't remember.

It seemed kind of expensive for what she got--maybe $6 for like 6 oz, and very little meat discernible in it. I think I'd rather buy regular tails and run them through a food processor, even if it didn't give me that "concentrated" flavor.

Do you just puree the tails?

I clean out heads, claws, and keep tails and all fat. Pound some, puree some, blend some. Works well. Strong flavor.

Obviously use extra tails with the puree in dishes. Bisques, etouffee, dips, etc.

Really works best, and most apparent in a bisque.

So, you include some shells in the mixture?
