underside of tail on both sides with kitchen scissors, then peel
off shells. SAUCE: Put into small saucepan: 1 cup hollandaise sauce.
Stir in: 1 tablespoon finely chopped dell and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Whisk the
sauce over low heat until warm, then whisk in gradually: 1/3 cup dry white

crayfish and serve with cooked white rice.
