HOUMA, La – The first of the season's crawfish are starting to appear in seafood shops across Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes.
LSU extension agent Alan Matherne tells The Courier (http://bit.ly/20OmIdM) the season usually starts around this time of year after farmers flood their ponds to catch the older crawfish that come out the earliest.
"They're the older, mature crawfish that were already in the pond for some time. They're going to be a good size," he said.
