Crawfish sounds good added to tuna.Never had tuna with it added and cracklins don't sound like something I even want to know what it is

Yummm, those look almost good enough too eat.
You ever stuff em with crawfish boudain.
Cracklins, aka pig skins, aka pork rinds. Real cajun cracklins aren't nothing like that garbage they sell in those lil plastic bags at the grocery store.
Hey boarmaster, you reckon those fellas up north could handle an authentic cajun seafood gumbo recipe? I know your bound to have a good one. How bout it?

I have not tried it with any boudin; now I have too! I think if they ever tried a really good "real gumbo", they would move down here tommorow!
Bruce,
I wish I would have sent you a bag of fresh cracklins with your bait yesterday!
Cracklins are the fat back of a hog with the skin and meat attached, kind of like slab bacon. Take a slab and cut it into 2" squares, then add it to a giant pot of sizzling lard. Right before they are done, stand back and add some water to the frying slab bacon. It makes the skin explode with a giant crackling and popping sound. Thats is what makes them cracklins!!!! When they are still hot, shake on you favorite seasoning. Here is a picture I found on the net to let you see what you have been missing. It's kinda like bacon on steroids. You can buy them at every gas station you come too. We can't get a hot dog, but we can get a ready made fried pork chop, some boudain, or cracklins, or rice and gravy any time we stop for fuel.
When I was a little and we had to butcher hogs. Everyone had to pitch in because it is hard work. My job was to scrape the hair off the hogs
When you butcher hogs "at least when I was little; it was a neighborly event," Everyone pitched in and would get some of the hogs.
Everyone had a job, my step grandpa was the boss!!!! plain and simple!!
He would heat 3 giant cast iron pots, one with water, and 2 with nothing but heat. after the first hog was scraped clean of hair using the heated hot water, the fat was added to the second pot to make lard for us to use for cooking. He would add some of the fresh lard from the second pot to the third pot to make cracklins from the rest of the hogs. DAMN THOSE WERE GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My step grandpa is the one that taught me how to chew, smoke and dip? He was a real charactor. My mother hated him, but I really loved him.

That don't sound bad at all.I was picturing hog guts or something like that.Back when I was a kid I also had to scrape hogs for my step fathers dad who ran a slaughter house.They would dip the hog in hot scalding water then I'd scrape the hair off them.

Bruce,
Hog guts are chitterlings and are often used for sausage casings. Real cracklins are like what boarmaster and nutoy described. They are very good added to corn bread, or eaten cold either by themselves or with some hot sauce. While they are very tasty They are not exactly healthy, but then again, who cares?

I've eaten the pork rinds in the chip bags and liked them.

Real cracklins are not like those in the store chip bags. True cracklins have fat attached as well as some meat. Then they are deep fried, then hit with water as Boarmaster stated. I really loved them straight out of the oil and served hot. Add some salt and a shot of Tabasco or Texas Pete and your got some tasty treats. While they hot and still wet from the oil we used to toss them in a bowl or paper bag with some BBQ rub, salt, or salt and cayenne pepper. Grandmother used to keep a pie tin on the wood burning stove with cracklins in it warming up. Come in on a cold day and grab a handfull and head back outside, great little "tie you over" till dinner.
In case you didnt know cracklin bread is merely cornbread with cracklins added to the mix before going into the oven. You just dont use as mush oil or lard in he mix as the cracklins leach out some pork goodness as the bread cooks.
As Emeril used to say " pok fat rules"..........
