Floyd's Seafood Cypress Kicks Off Crawfish Season Early with Authentic Louisiana Flavors
It's crawfish time at Floyd's Seafood in Cypress, as the Louisiana Crawfish season begins early this year thanks to the favorable weather conditions. With a rich history steeped in traditional Louisiana flavors, Floyd's has been serving up Texas hospitality with a bayou twist since 1934. Despite last year's disappointing crawfish season due to an unprecedented drought, this year's yield looks promising.
According to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Louisiana has been leading the nation in crawfish production, producing between 100 to 120 million pounds per year while contributing more than $300 million to the state's economy annually. Todd Fontenot, LSU AgCenter Crawfish Specialist, suggests that this year's season is already showing signs of improvement with the appearance of multiple sizes of crawfish in late October.

“We are catching the crawfish also catching multiple sizes of crawfish, which is a good indicator that you have multiple generations multiple sizes so if you have a continuous catch,”said Fontenot, where early indicators were pointing to a much better start for this year’s season. Crawfish season in Louisiana typically runs from January to July, with peak availability in March through May, though it can start as early as November in warm, rainy years.
