Dallas Crawfish Season: Skip the Mushy Tails

Panko Alerts · April 29, 2026

Crawfish season is heating up across Dallas, but don't eat any with straight tails or mushy meat – they were probably dead before cooking and could make you sick. Fresh crawfish should have curled tails and firm, white meat that pulls out easily. If something smells off or the shells look dull instead of bright red, ask for a fresh batch or skip that restaurant altogether.
