Martin said: > >(2) I abuse boil a _lot_. Brett asked the obvious question: > Where would be a good place to find boil? Most good seafood stores will have it occasionally. Unfortunately, we haven't found a store that has it all the time. Our usual (and the most stocked) brand is Zatarain's Liquid Crab Boil (since I happen to have "The New Orleans Cookbook" immediately to hand here at the office, I can verify that it's "Crab Boil" and not "Seafood Boil"). > Is it something I would have to make? For its Officially Authorized Purpose, you can make a batch of the dry (recipe attached). But when using it in Ways Not Intended by the Manufacturer, the Warranty is Void... no, that wasn't the question... making or finding the liquid extracts is beyond at least my culinary skills. Boil happy; don't let the lobsters vote. |
