Virtually unknown, even to food professionals, a cousin of the red swamp Crawfish is harvested
Virtually unknown, even to food professionals, a cousin of the red swamp crawfish is harvested now from the rice fields of Northern California. Unless you were a scientist, you could never tell the difference between the California and Louisiana species. Sized at 15-20 critters to the pound, these crawfish are purged in well water to ensure that clean, sweet flavor that is the hallmark of high-quality "crawdads." They can be shipped live to any location in America, offered daily in lots of 10, 20, or 30 pounds.
Crawfish or crayfish, the words can be used interchangeably, is one of those rare products in the culinary world that is highly revered by both gourmands and just plain folks. The "crawfish boil" is not exclusive to Cajuns in the Louisiana Bayou. Crawfish festivals now range from Scandinavia and Vienna to France and New Zealand, attesting to the massive popularity of this delicious little "mud-bug."
More than 250 species exist in America, but the Red Swamp from Louisiana is the most well know variety.
Unfortunately, the Louisiana season is now closed, and won't re-open until January 2008. For those who dote on crawfish, these are the times that try their souls. They are fraught with crawfish longing and wistful memories of fiery etouffee.
Take heart, crawfish lovers. FARM 2 MARKET to the rescue!
We presently offer two species of LIVE crawfish and frozen soft-shell crawfish that have been featured on the TV Food Network and NBC's Today Show. All three products are shipping daily.
