Pinch, Peel, Eat, and Repeat – A List of Where to Eat Crawfish
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.
