Crawfish Tyme

by Mary Tutwiler

It's Lent again, and poor Catholics must be dreading their sacrifice of not eating meat, except seafood, on Fridays. It's Lent again, and poor Catholics must be dreading their sacrifice of not eating meat, except seafood, on Fridays. It means they're going to have to go to Olde Tyme Grocery at the end of each week and order up all the fried shrimp and oyster poboys. If that wasn't penance enough, now Olde Tyme has introduced a fried crawfish poboy special to the mix. It's got all the elements that make Olde Tyme poboys so insufferable: the chewy bread, gobs of mayo and ketchup and perfectly battered and fried seafood. Whole crawfish poboys sell for $8.95, only through Lent, a small price to pay for a religious experience. Call 235-8165 to order ahead, a good idea during the lunch stampede.
