also before the depression.. crawfish were not widely eaten in LA....
Crawfish were not widely eaten in Baton Rouge until the mid 70's and really later than that at BR restaurants. About early mid 70's is when the backyard boiling started and you pretty much had to go to Camp Bayou Corne or Belle River to buy them.

That's Crazy! I was born late 70's, so I have never known a world without crawfish boils. I'm not sure if I ever would have wanted to live in said world. My parents are both from down the bayou, but I only moved here when I was in high school. I would say that crawfish was EASILY my favorite food in the world. In The World.

My mom grew up in the Gonzales area (the sticks at that time- on a farm) and my maw maw made crawfish stew that was apparently amazing- my dad still talks about it....she also made other crawfish dishes as well
My mom grew up in the 40s/50s. However, it was the country and they were poor...so I guess thats where the crawfish come into play
