I made some smoked chicken tacos last night: Slow-smoked chicken breast meat chunks, feta cheese, late-season home-grown Hass avocado, sliced hot-house cocktail tomatoes, salsa, and thin-sliced romaine lettuce.
Damn, those were good! Those sound yummy!

badass bitchin' tasty bugs I dunno, Logtroll. I love lobster and shrimp of every variety, but crawdads alwasy taste a litle too much like mud to me. At least that's my impression from all the times I have eaten them down in Lousiana. Now a shrimp po'boy, on the other hand...  Sounds like a water quality issue. The Montana streams run clear as vodka.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

Funny. I don't think of Crawdads as food, they are the little ones and good only for catfish bait. Speaking of bait, I tried sushi when it first became trendy up north many moons ago. A number of friends were raving about it, so I figured that I'd try it. If it weren't for the rice and seaweed, I don't believe that it would have any flavor. I then asked myself, why am I eating expensive bait- raw fish- that may contain parasites no matter how skillfully prepared? Nowadays it probably glows in the dark.

![[Linked Image from upload.wikimedia.org]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Anisakids.jpg/220px-Anisakids.jpg) Anisakid larvae in the body cavity of a herring AnisakisAnisakis is a genus of parasitic nematodes, which have a life cycle involving fish and marine mammals. They are infective to humans and cause anisakiasis....
Anisakiasis is a human parasitic infection of the gastrointestinal tract caused by the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood containing larvae of the nematode Anisakis simplex....
Fewer than ten cases occur annually in the United States....
Anisakiasis can be easily prevented by adequate cooking at temperatures greater than 60°C or freezing. The FDA recommends all shellfish and fish intended for raw consumption be blast frozen to -35°C or below for fifteen hours or be regularly frozen to -20°C or below for seven days....
Many countries require all types of fish with potential risk intended for raw consumption to be previously frozen to kill parasites....
For the worm, humans are a dead-end host. Anisakis and Pseudoterranova larvae cannot survive in humans, and will eventually die. In some cases, the infection will resolve with only symptomatic treatment. In other cases, however, infection can lead to small bowel obstruction, which may require surgery.... I love sushi, and in almost all respects it is very healthful eating. In Canada -- and presumably in the USA, if the proper FDA regulations are enforced -- freezing guarantees that parasitic worms and other pathogens are not a problem to worry about in eating sushi. Any carcasses of nematodes that might be present simply add to the protein you are consuming.

I'll pass. I did, however, get into raw Apalachicola oysters. About 1 or 2 people per season would get sick from them, but they usually (not always)had a suppressed immune system. At any rate, I stopped eating them following the BP oil disaster. I even stopped making oyster stuffing.

You should get British Columbia oysters, they still seem to be safe -- provided they do not come from an area near a wood pulp processing plant which pumps dioxins and other bad stuff into the ocean so that the paper you use is lily-white rather than brown.

I have to say that there is one exception to my "no shellfish" rule. I'll eat crab, if it is not in the shell and mixed with something else(crab cakes are a favorite), and I'll eat clam chowder(both styles).
Numan~I'll have to tell my sister about BC oysters. She loves them, but after the BP disaster, she quit eating them. She'll be happy for the information. Thanks.

We're probably the last generation to eat salt water seafood. A trout by the babbling brook is picturesque and delicious, but overall I love that saltwater seafood. Unfortunately, the fisheries are dying, the ocean is being "plasticized," and what's left Fukushima will finish off.
