Today is National Crawfish Day.  This day celebrates one of the South’s most iconic foods.  A smaller, fresh-water cousin to the lobster, crawfish provide a unique flavor to many homegrown Southern dishes. Baked or boiled, crawfish is usually seasoned with a distinctive brand of southern heat. One particularly popular way to serve crawfish is a boil, paper towels required.  This delicacy also goes by the name mudbug, crayfish, crawdad, crawpappy, ditchbug as well as others.
