Capri Cafaro explores the deep-rooted traditions surrounding this freshwater delicacy, from harvesting to cooking. She joins a festival celebrating crawfish with music, dancing, and signature dishes that showcase Cajun and Creole flavors. Heading into the bayou, Capri learns how wild crawfish are caught and how sustainability plays a role in maintaining their population. She also visits a farm where crawfish and rice thrive together in a unique agricultural system. In the kitchen, she helps prepare a traditional Creole crawfish bisque, a time-honored dish requiring careful preparation. Capri also experiences a classic crawfish boil, where the flavors and sense of community are just as important as the food. Through these experiences, she discovers how crawfish culture connects generations and remains a symbol of Louisiana’s culinary and cultural heritage.
