The Louisiana seafood bible

"Essays and anecdotes reveal an almost encyclopedic array of information on crawfish, including how to identify the best crawfish for your home boil, food safety and storage, and--for the novices--even how to peel a crawfish. Personal stories of the individuals who play a role along the journey from swamp to tabletop provide insights into the culture of Louisiana as well as the crawfish industry. Whether called crawfish or crayfish, preferred boiled or fried, these crustaceans and their fascinating story will gratify any appetite."--Page 2 of cover.
