Sweet, Buttery, Earthy
Red crawfish dominate most farms, especially in south Louisiana and in most places in the Atchafalaya Basin. White crawfish are slightly more plentiful on north Louisiana farms and in Mississippi River overflow swamps. Most crawfish are harvested between December and June, but March, April and May are the peak months in Louisiana.
Moist, Flakey, Clean
Like all Rockfish, the Bocaccio boast paper white flesh with bright bloodlines. The moisture is abundant, and for the guest who demands light, white, and flakey, this fish is the perfect fit. Substitute this for Grouper, Snapper, and with careful preparation, Black Cod.
