I've never heard of groundnut oil. But I do wish I had some of the crayfish for dinner tonight.

BTW, did you know that on the east coast 50-75 years ago or thereabouts, it was "shameful" to eat lobster!!!??? It was considered a scavenger of the sea, and an "insect" crawling on the bottom and having six legs.

They were so ashamed of being poor and 'reduced' to eating lobster that they would hide the shells in the garbage so no one would know!!!

And today........it's worshipped as a meal. If you want to, you can think of shellfish as bugs, but I don't want to!
