Why is Louisiana seafood so important?

Crops grown in Louisiana are wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, cotton, sugarcane, soybeans, hay, and sweet potatoes. They are important to the state because of the over $1.57 billion dollars in revenue they bring to the state.

Many residents of the area rely on seafood to make a living, directly or indirectly and during Katrina, they lost alot of their industry due to public fear of contamination.

The only BIG difference is going to be methods of preparation.
