D/FW Boiled Crawfish

I remember it like it was yesterday — the start of the 2020 crawfish season, weeks before we learned a pandemic would hit our nation. I was feasting on a platter of boiled crawfish at a nearby eatery’s communal table. I asked two diners next to me if they were enjoying their crawfish and one replied, “These are just OKAY, but nothing compared to what we had at Chris’s Specialty Foods in Frisco a few weeks ago.”
At that moment, my quest for authentic Cajun cuisine in North Texas would be forever changed. Days later, I headed north to Frisco to check out this grab-and-go Cajun specialty-foods shop. Tucked in a strip shopping center just off the service road, Chris’s Specialty Foods might make you feel like you’ve traveled across state lines to a Louisiana neighborhood meat market. It’s a dream come true for Dallas-area Bayou-state transplants or folks like me, who simply love authentic Louisiana cuisine.
