Here in Louisiana, it's hard to believe there are states in the U.S. where live crawfish are actually illegal. Seems like a pretty easy issue to fix, right? Just eat em!
There's no doubt that Louisiana crawfish are the best in the world, if you can afford them. Plus, they're pretty darn important to our economy, but the question remains, can you eat a straight-tail crawfish?
I'll never forget where I had my first Louisiana-style crawfish pistolette. They had them at an Exxon gas station on the side of 190 in Port Barre, LA, and now I get them every time I head to Baton Rouge or New Orleans!
