Looks good! Can I substitute either sardines or fish sauce for the crawfish? Thanks

Thanks Alison and no you can’t use sardines in place of the ground crayfish
as sardines will subdue the taste of the food,
but you can leave out the ground crayfish if you don’t have any.
Thanks dear,i really appretiate
