The story goes...don't eat the straight-tail crawfish because they were dead before they were cooked. So, it that true, or just an old Cajun wives tale?
Could PETA put an end to us using our boiling pots in Louisiana? They're trying! If PETA has its way, we can kiss our traditional Louisiana crawfish boils goodbye.
DEQ Louisiana says that when the shells, boil water, etc. make their way to aquatic habitats around the state - the ensuing reaction could spell death.
This is the worst news possible for mudbug lovers. I did check local restaurants and restaurants like Cajun Asian in Shreveport plan to go full throttle with the crawfish they do have.
