Jay, The Louisiana Crawfish are worth the wait. They differ from their Chinese cousins in several ways that were accurately described in the article CB referenced. Having lived among the crawfish during the popularization of the cuisine that launched them into greater awareness in the early 1980's it has been startling to come across them packaged in the motherland (So La.) from across the big pond. The Chinese product is bland and does not contain the essence of the local products. The cost being 1/3 of the local fare produces a response among locals who live in a world dominated by "We Sell For Less". The labeling is clear although in typical obfuscation: "Atchafalaya Crawfish Company - imported from China" You are correct - the crawfish purist is in the minority. If only crawfish could be elevated to a higher plane such as the automobile where the Japanese could copy the design and produce a superior product. Which begs the question - Is China trapped in the production of quantity or can it morph into quality as Japan has done?
