Food Facts

The crawfish is the most famous Louisiana delicacy.  It can be served in many ways including etouffee, bisque and as a topping for many fish dishes.  It is also an important food to many animals in the Atchafalaya Swamp such as the yellow-crowned night heron, largemouth bass and the river otter.
