What country is the origin of crayfish?

The origin of crayfish is the United States. Crayfish is native to Louisiana, and the fossils of crayfish discovered by archaeologists can prove this, but people really started to eat crayfish, but it started when the United States bought Louisiana from France in 1803.

Although the local French-Americans believe in Catholicism, they are inspired by the changes of the times to take risks and dare to try, so they began to boldly try crayfish and crocodiles, two strange specialties of the Mississippi River. To this end, they invented a seasoning for cooking crayfish and a cooking method for cooking crayfish with kajin cuisine, but this is not just a cooking method, but a party culture.

The history of the origin of crayfish

They will invite friends to their home, set up a special vat of aluminum pot in the backyard, and work together to cook crayfish with kajin seasoning. During the whole process, traditional ballroom dancing music will be played, and you can dance or sing as you like. We can talk while eating. It's fun. Slowly, this party culture has developed into a festival. The earliest BreauxBridge Crayfish Festival has a history of 80 years.

Crayfish has developed into an industry in Louisiana for a long time. Before 1927, people only fished wild crayfish in the Mississippi River. In the same year, a catastrophic flood occurred in the middle and lower reaches of the Mississippi River. The river flooded almost all the villages in the middle and lower reaches, and crayfish were washed everywhere, thus people discovered the mystery of crayfish culture in rice fields.

However, due to the lack of strong labor force in World War I and World War II, the crayfish industry developed very slowly, and only women with different skin colors worked part-time in crayfish farming and shrimp peeling. It was not until the end of World War II that crayfish entered the stage of industrial breeding and production. In 1960, Louisiana State University set up a special research institution to study the habits and yield increase of crayfish.
