Mini Lobsters

One of the greatest things about New Orleans is the food. A very popular one is crawfish. Anyone living in Louisiana, and isn't allergic, or a vegetarian, probably ate crawfish at a point in their life. Some people outside of Louisiana may call them crayfish. Crawfish are usually found in slow moving fresh water, but can also live in slightly salty water.

Over 90% of the crawfish that is consumed in the United States is from Louisiana. Crawfish are cooked by boiling them with a lot of seasoning. The seasoning is usually salty and spicy, and sometimes sausage, corn, and potatoes, are added to the boil. Crawfish boils are very popular in the early spring time to early summer, and are hosted by almost anyone. Whether it is a small crawfish boil at home for the family, or a large one like Crawfest, it is a social gathering everyone looks forward to. Crawfish can also be found all around New Orleans. In case the next crawfish boil is sometime away in the future, many restaurants serve crawfish.

There are no times darker than when crawfish season is over.
