Crawfish Boil in Southern Louisiana

May, 2007, In the town of Bayou Vista, Louisiana. You can't hear too well because of the loud propane torch heating up the crayfish (for those of you not from Louisiana), but he's pretty much telling my friend about the process- where you catch the crayfish, what seasonings you put in it, etc. For this Yankee's first time in the deep south, it was quite a welcome!

The largest I've seen was about six inches long in a creek in Maryland. But they don't normally get much bigger than what you see in the video.
