Crawfish

Some people say that Houston has only one season – hot. I beg to differ.
My favorite season is crawfish season. Crawfish are little crustaceans that live in virtually every creek and bayou. Lucky for us, here in the South they’re big enough to eat.
Crawfish, or mud bugs, are a great excuse to party and add an extra element to city life. Restaurants and parties alike boil these babies up and serve them with a bunch of potatoes, corn and spice.
This is one time when it is acceptable to say, “Squeeze the tail and suck the head!”
