re: Lobster Base for etouffee?

Yea that's why I was saying a variation of that recipe because I don't add the tomato sauce and leave out a few other ingredients, its actually a lot like what you posted and what OTIS does. Just thinking of adding the lobster base to see how it turns out. The tail package I bought says it comes with the fat. Im thinking like you said and get a few pounds of boiled crawfish to get more fat and might make a quick stock with the shells.
