It is in duck season. They've added a coastal zone recently, but the North 2/3's of the state are split between East and West.
I think that's pretty legit division as to the argument of whether to compare LA N vs. S or E vs. W in general.

The best crawfish I've had are both water seasoned and lightly seasoned with liquid sauce after the boil

I've been eating hot boiled crawfish in Nola since the 70's.
But you're right. I constantly correct people about Nola and its food origins.

Actually pound crawfish are relatively recent traditional crawfish production came out of the basin area which is more SELa.

of course there are exceptions, Deanie's maybe, but in general that is true

You see more Protestant churches in BR than other S. LA towns
When I went to LSU only one of my friends/group was a Catholic -- and he was not only a Yankee transplant, but an atheist who never did the Catholic stuff. I didn't plan this, it just happened, but probably more likely in BR than say NO or Laf.

BR has a plethora of Catholic schools and churches.

More anecdotal: I lived in NO and virtually every native I met was Catholic. That doesn't happen in BR.

It's also got a lot of old bible thumpers that haven't ran away to Livingston Parish yet.
Baton Rouge has a lot of Catholics for sure, but it's more of a melting pot than New Orleans, Shreveport, or Lafayette. LSU brings in a lot of outsiders that water down the locals contribution to culture for better or worse. It's not obviously Protestant like Shreveport (or what the north shore was 40 years ago), but it's not overwhelmingly Catholic like New Orleans either.
The Perkins Road side of town is definitely more Catholic than Old Hammond side of town.

This. North Louisiana is more like the rest of the south in that respect.
Much of the Florida parishes were also like that before half of New Orleans moved to the north shore.
