Born & raised in Louisiana and this has only just now occurred to me:
Why do we not do bread with boiled crawfish? We do bread with boiled shrimp. Crackers or bread with crabs, oysters, fish... heck, we have a whole seafood poboy industry of seafood-and-bread combinations.
But I've never had bread of any kind at a crawfish boil. Potatoes, corn, garlic... sure. But never any kind of bread.
Why??
Drought, diesel prices could cut crawfish season short
Crawfish producers are pumping more water into ponds, and the high price of diesel makes it expensive to irrigate. Without the issuance of H-2B visas for guest workers, there aren't enough crawfish peelers.

Dorsal and lateral views should be always provided: In the dorsal view, make sure both the areola and rostrum are visible: Lateral view: Of utmost importance for many species are photos of the gonopod (for males) or annulus ventralis (for females). The following image shows the ventral view of an adult male crayfish. The gonopods are its reproductive organs. They are normally tucked between the walking legs. It will often be necessary to pry one into view with a toothpick or probe. The most useful views are from a lateral or mesial aspect.
