Sick of stone crabs? I know that's right. So here's an alternative: Louisiana crawfish. It's the season for them too, and one of the best places in town to catch some live -- until they're cooked, of course -- is Rosey Baby (4587 N. University Dr., Lauderhill, 954-749-5627). Now you not only eat them boiled or broiled on the premises but you can order them up by the pound for a party. For a minimum of three bucks per pound, the staff at Rosey Baby will even do the prep for you, so the only aroma will be coming from your kitchen and not your hands. Until you start snapping off those tails, that is.
