Boiled crawfish this week?

[Domtastic]

I'm going to be in New Orleans this week and would love to have some boiled crawfish while I'm there. I know crawfish season isn't really til the spring, but does anybody know of a place that's doing a decent boil this time of year?

Crawfish will be overpriced and either frozen from last year's crop, not local, or will have particularly hard shells if you get current local mudbugs.

They are not in season - have oysters and crabs instead!

You are not correct, they may be overpriced but they are definitely local. Cooter Browns has them as well. As with everything else, preople will extend the season in order to make more money. (see King Cakes)

SOME are local. I have had Chinese crawfish served to me locally.

Original French Market Restaurant usually has crawfish.

Frankie and Johnny's has been advertising that they have them, I cant vouch for the size of them but would imagine they are small
