Crawfish were not widely eaten in Baton Rouge until the mid 70's and really later than that at BR restaurants
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

im from Natchez and grew up in the 70-80's and we ate them but we went to the bar pits when they flooded or to Anna's bottom and got them our selfs. My Dad passed away last year, one of my fondest memories of him is sitting in the truck drinking beer with his friends while us kids checked traps and cages. Man i wanted to be drinking the beer!!!!!! Thats whats sux now a days you cant do anything like that because of all of the leases on the land!
