I even turned it over & banged it on the counter, which normally does it. D held it under hot water, and tapped and tapped it with a butter knife.

Slap Ya Mama brand is a serviceable Louisiana style vinigar-y sauce, like Crystal, IMO.

It also freezes surprisingly well when cured. We just had some with grilled mackerel and rice that was cured back in late autumn and it was still delicious.
