    Where's the Crawfish, Dawlin?March 18, 2012 By LA.Lawyer
    This is a wonderful recipe...however, here in New Orleans, we like a little food with our crawfish and Crawfish Bisque is no exception. I would ""twique"" this recipe to make it a little spicier by adding the obligatory Cayenne Pepper and Tabasco and either increase the fish stock or add seafood stock. Bon appetit!!! I'm making some today for the Irish-Italian parade.

    Yummy!!November 08, 2011 By KarShelia
    I made this bisque and it was tasty!! Although, I did have to add a lil more seasoning and sherry, but it came out tasting they way I wanted it!!! I absolutely love crabs & shrimp, so of course I added double the required servings.

    I've not made Seafood Bisque before, so I thought this looked like a good starter recipe. I made alterations to the recipe before I even started. In addition to celery and green onions, I also added half a red pepper to saute. I used only 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk, not 2 1/2 cups. I added about 20 ounces of Chicken Broth. I used fresh pepper and just a sprinkle of Kosher Salt. I sprinkled just a bit of Cayenne pepper for kick. Let simmer. This is very good; as good as any seafood bisque I've eaten in restaurants. We'll see what my husband says when he comes home!!

    Horrible RecipeMarch 07, 2010 By thebisquesucks
    This recipe was horrible. I wasted money on this recipe and there is no taste to the bisque. It needs a base. I'm currently in the search of a new recipe and i don't recommend anybody using this recipe and wasting their time.

    To Die For!!!!!March 01, 2010 By CynthiaHulings
    No exaggeration, it is just the best tasting bisque ever. I used crab and my husband raved on and on. I thought the other reviews were a little bit over the top but they were right on the money. Very delicious. The only thing is the recipe could have been a little more detailed. Such as how long it takes to prepare and a general idea of how long each stage takes. The cooking and stirring until thickened took alot longer than I would have thought, other than that it was perfectly seasoned and was superb!

    I've used this recipe a couple of times already and each time I had to take my wife to the psych ward at the hospital. It was so yummy that she lost her mind !!! She shared some with her family and now they're ALL crazy. :) I'm making it again today with copies of your recipe as take home treats. Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe that is so easy to make!!!!!
