Louisiana Crawfish

We eat a lot of crawfish in Lafayette. With dozens of restaurants and thousands of fans in south Louisiana, it's a major industry.

What if we told you that there's a place in Idaho that boasts a native species of crawfish that can grow about twice the size of what we catch in Louisiana?

This was not your average Sunday block party, though. It was a massive Louisiana-style crawfish boil held in New York City, with the Empire State Building as the backdrop. The epic crawfish boil was hosted by the local NYC chapter of the LSU Alumni Association in front of the LSU Alum-owned Legends Bar and Grill.

Don't freak out but here's why Louisiana Farmers are worried about the upcoming season.
