The Best Crawfish in Shreveport According to Yelp Reviews

SHREVEPORT, LA - It is definitely getting close to the beginning of crawfish season. Several Shreveport restaurants and drive-up spots have limited amounts of mudbugs right now. But it is still a little early. If you are thinking about trying some crawfish in northwest Louisiana right now, you might wanna check out our list of the best Yelp Reviews for crawfish.

But remember, one of the highest rated spots only had 3 reviews and all of those reviews were good. So that might have skewed the results. And some spots in town don't have any review yet, so they did not make the list.

How Expensive Are Boiled Crawfish in Shreveport?

You will most likely have to call first to make sure your favorite spot has some available. And be prepared to pay a premium right now. I will be checking prices this week to see which spot is offering the best deals, but you will easily pay close to $10 a pound for boiled crawfish right now.

Who Has the Best Tasting Crawfish in Shreveport?

This is an ongoing debate. It really depends on how you like your crawfish. I don't like them too spicey, but they have to have a little kick. My biggest pet peeve is too much salt. That often happens if someone dumps spices on the bugs after they come out of the boiling water. That's just an amateur move. Everyone knows the seasoning goes in while the bugs are cooking.

Remember you can save those crawfish heads and use them to make crawfish bisque. Check this out:

What Should Not Go in the Crawfish Boil?

Don't try to boil the bugs in pineapple or orange juice. Just use plain ol water, please. And you should NEVER put any kind of tomato or tomato sauce in a crawfish boil. Another thing that does not need to be at a crawfish boil is ketchup. If you see someone dipping crawfish in ketchup, you might wanna send them home. They ain't right.
