. . . come on Bill, what your crawdad's are missing is the wonderful taste of herbicides and pesticides that our La crawfish have. They get that great taste since they are grown and raised in the same fields as the rice crops. The crawfish live down in the dirt and absorb all those spicy chemicals, then grow, pop out, and are caught in a net then eaten. In all honesty, Bill, I bet your crawfish are better, the La have been getting a lot smaller and wierder over that last decade or so. The "chemical" thing is just my opinion and observations over my life.
