Sacramento Delta Crawfish Boil · Sacramento
Spring and early-summer crawfish boil from the Sacramento River Delta, the freshwater crawfish capital of California. Peak season is Father's Day weekend.
The Sacramento River Delta has been one of the largest US sources of freshwater crawfish since the early 1900s, when Louisiana growers imported the red swamp crawfish to Delta ponds. By the 1980s the Isleton Crawdad Festival had become the Father's Day fixture across the Delta, with boils on Main Street pulling thousands of visitors. The boil is the same as the Louisiana home version, with crawfish, corn, potatoes, sausage and lots of cayenne and Old Bay, but the catch is from California growers and the season runs March to October with a Father's Day peak.
