Resembling small lobsters, crawfish are called Louisiana's culinary gift to the nation. The state boasts an annual harvest of 100 million pounds. Crawfish taste like shrimp, and currently, several local restaurants are offering this popular crustacean to-go. Eateries serving up crawfish near our Houston apartments include:
