It’s officially (finally!) crawfish season, and Pearland’s proximity to the Gulf Coast makes it a prime location for everyone’s favorite mudbugs. The area typically sees its most robust crawfish during March and April, but thanks to the large-scale farming efforts by our neighbors in Louisiana you can find delicious crawfish in Pearland as early as February and often through July.

Pearland has your cravings covered with restaurants across the city serving up creative and unique recipes as well as the classic flavors crawfish aficionados have come to expect.
