re: Small Crawfish Etouffee @ The Chimes, Counted 6 Crawfish

I asked about 8 because honestly I don't know what makes up a small portion of étouffée. We have a place in town, Trapanis, that sells it, I'll count the tails the next time my wife gets it.

There's never been a reason to count in the past. It was blatantly obvious there weren't many crawfish so she counted. Could it have been an 'unlucky spoonful,' I guess, it just didn't look like it.

Perhaps the entire pot was very low on the amount of crawfish though, so even a lucky scoop wouldn't have been many.

I'm glad you won't be back, it's often hard to get a place to sit, fewer whiners is always an improvement.

Me too. I hope none of the posters in this thread ever go back. It's hard enough finding a bar stool as it is. Good riddance. Chimes does not need them. I think it's decent bar food. They don't claim to be a five star restaurant. Dude should have sent it back and simply said it needs some crawfish on the dish. That wasn't a "business model" serving. It was just the amount in the scoop.
