    Lol. It sounds silly but they’re talking about Crawfish fritters, which are just chopped crawfish tails mixed into a cornmeal batter, rolled into a ball or mini pancake shape, and deep fried. They’re tasty! And the worse the sign looks, the better they’re gonna be. It’s kind of an unwritten rule in the south. This sign tells me they’re probably a 6/10. Now if it were a hand painted sign leaning against a tree? Those would be the best god-damn fritters you’d ever eat in your life.

      Now I want to see if they have any crawdads at the grocery store and whip up a batch. Its been eons since I had them!

      Oh and you’re dead on right about the sign. Even better if its on an old high way that died off because of the new interstate.

        Hell yeah! I no longer live in the deep south, but I still live in a southern city, and don’t have trouble finding them. If you’ve got a Publix or Harris Teeter in your area just ask someone behind the seafood counter if they’ve got frozen crawfish. They almost always have a couple 2lb bags. They’re just usually pre-cooked whole crawfish, so you’ll have to pick the tail meat yourself. It’s a lot harder to find a package of tail meat.

          Oh I miss Publix so much! I’m barely in the south, N. Virginia but Martins (very close to being like Publix) carriers them in the frozen section. If I gt off my lazy butt I’ll post them and my recipe 😃

          Now I want fritters and a boars head sub!

      Hard pass for me, as in I won’t even knowingly drive anywhere near that area.

      I’m allergic to shellfish.

      Imagine spending ~6 days wanting to rip your own intestines out just to scratch an internal itch…

    I was tasked with putting the letters on one of these signs for a few years, and the people who would send me messages had no interest in the actual physical dimensions of said sign so often it would read garbage like this. I’d then start purposely placing unrelated things on the same line, my favorite being: “YOGA.BOWLING LEAGUE SUNDAY 6PM”
