Some people call them crayfish, crawdads, or mudbugs, but I call them CRAWFISH.   What do you call these beady-eyed Cajun crustaceans?

I have not always liked crawfish.  I did not understand why people loved them so much; peeling these bugs and getting their hands dirty only to get a little piece of meat – seemed like a waste of time.  I honestly thought it was disgusting.  However, in 2011 everything changed!  We had a block party/crawfish boil, my friend dared me to try one – after kicking and screaming she pretty much shoved it in my mouth and I said, “that was good, give me another one”!  I can now say I LOVE crawfish, but not only because it is yummy but because it brings people together, forces us to slow down, eat, and enjoy the company of our friends and family. I refer to it as a social food.

Crawfish season here in Texas runs from mid-January through June, with the peak months being March, April, and May.  Missouri City and surrounding areas have some great places to get your crawfish fix, both Cajun-influenced and unique Vietnamese-style.

Are ready to pinch, peel, eat, and get your hands dirty with some spicy and juicy crawfish?  Here is a list of some great places.  If your favorite crawfish spot was left off the list, feel free to leave the info in the comments.

The Crawfish Man (Greg Drouin) moved to Houston in the early 90’s. Greg stumbled into his passion by chance. It all started as an annual crawfish boil that he put on for family and friends. He started catering crawfish back in 2004/2005; he was always asked where home base was. So after 13 + years he opened his very first brick and mortar located in the heart of Missouri City, nestled right in the middle of Quail Valley.
