For those that like crayfish, there's a new restaurant in town that flies them out from Louisiana every day.
It's located at the new shopping center across from Huong Land Sandwich at the intersection of 65th and Stockton Blvd.

Re: crawdad restaurant
Sat, February 9, 2008 - 5:58 PMI think there's too much "stuff" being dumped into the delta sloughs from Agricultural runoff.
Part of the reason why they advise that people don't eat more than something like 1.5 lbs of striped bass caught dfrom the Sac River.
Otherwise, sure, you can get crawdads from bait shops in Freeport. -

Sun, February 10, 2008 - 9:03 AMIsleton has a Crawdad Festival every summer that draws monstrous numbers of people, so I assume that they are at least edible there... -

Mon, February 11, 2008 - 11:13 AMI don't think I'd put money on the waters off Louisiana being any cleaner than the Delta...but that's just my opinion. -

Re: crawdad restaurant
Mon, February 11, 2008 - 12:30 PMIn Louisiana and other Southern states, crawdads are cultivated int eh rice fields as an additional crop.
The crawdads in the delta are "wild".
I dunno...~is~ rice field water "cleaner" than agricultural runoff water, or is it the same?
I have had the crawdads in New Orleans before. They're bigger than the ones fihsherman use for bait here in Sacramento. You'd have to eat a lot more of the local ones to get the same amount of meat.

Mon, February 11, 2008 - 10:23 PMyeah, remember the Mississippi River isn't the cleanest...and that's what feeds the Louisiana delta. If they farm crawdads in rice fields, then that's the very definition of "agricultural runoff": unless they're growing organic rice, then they're putting chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the water where them crawdads is growin'! Mmmmm, good mudbug!
