  • When is crawfish season and what options are available during the off season?

    The typical season for live crawfish extends from December through July. Please note that the exact start and end dates can fluctuate by one to three weeks annually, depending on environmental factors.

    The peak season—the period offering the largest available crawfish and generally the lowest market prices—is typically concentrated in April and May. Similar to the general season, the timing of the peak harvest may shift by several weeks.

    Outside of the live season, we proudly provide our frozen, pre-boiled crawfish, ensuring a year-round supply for our customers.

    To receive the most current information regarding live crawfish availability, special promotions, and up-to-the-minute updates, we encourage you to subscribe to our email list and follow us across our social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

  • What size crawfish do you have?

    This guide provides a quick reference for the size grades and their typical availability throughout the season.

    • Field Run: 18-22 crawfish per pound. Sack contains a variety of sizes, generally the best value. This size is available throughout the entirety of live crawfish season (December – July).
    • Select: 12-17 count per pound. Crawfish have been sorted for larger, more uniform sizes, which yields better meat per tail but comes at a higher price. Generally available March – June.
    • Jumbo: 12 or less crawfish per pound. Jumbo crawfish are desirable because they yield a larger piece of tail meat, making the peeling process more rewarding. Primarily available during the peak season in April and May.

  • How do I hold live crawfish?

    Live crawfish are highly perishable and must be cooked on the day of delivery.

    We strongly advise against storing live crawfish overnight. Attempting to hold the product overnight significantly increases the risk of mortality.

    Our Guarantee Policy: Our guarantee for live crawfish is strictly limited to the date of delivery. Any crawfish held overnight is done so entirely at the customer’s risk, and no refunds will be issued for live product mortality incurred after the delivery date.

    Emergency Overnight Holding Method (Not Recommended):

    While we advise against holding the crawfish overnight, the following method offers the best potential for survival, though it is not guaranteed:

    1. Spray the sack down with fresh water.
    2. Place the sack into a cooler or ice chest that is equipped with a drain.
    3. Top the sack with loose ice.
    4. Crucially: Ensure the drain remains unobstructed. Dormant crawfish submerged in standing water are highly susceptible to drowning.

    FINAL POLICY NOTE: NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR LIVE CRAWFISH HELD OVERNIGHT.

    Video Instructions: 

  • What states can you not ship live crawfish?

    Due to various state regulations concerning the importation and transport of non-native species, we are currently unable to ship live crawfish to the following states:

    • Alaska
    • Hawaii
    • Illinois
    • Michigan
    • Washington
    • Wisconsin
    • Minnesota – Importation of live crawfish is prohibited. Boiled crawfish may be imported with a required, free-of-charge permit. Permits can be obtained using the direct link at /Boiled-Crawfish. Once obtained, please forward a copy to info@lacrawfish.com.
    • Oregon – Residents must obtain a Crayfish Transport Permit prior to shipment. The state assesses a fee of $14.00 per permit. The permit is valid for seven days before and after the selected date on the application. You will need to visit the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife(Opens an external site in a new window)‘s website to create an account and from there you will be able to purchase the Crayfish Transport Permit. Once the permit is purchased, please forward a copy to info@lacrawfish.com.
    • Pennsylvania – Live crawfish may only be shipped to specific commercial or institutional entities. Shipping to residential addresses is strictly prohibited.

  • What are Water Boatmen Eggs?

    During the molting season, Water Boatmen (Family Corixidae) may deposit their eggs, often referred to as “nits,” on the exterior of the crawfish, particularly near the head and eye regions. This occurrence is typically observed later in the season, after the crawfish have undergone fewer molting cycles.

    Rest assured, the presence of these eggs does not affect the quality, texture, or flavor of the crawfish meat. They are entirely safe for consumption. A proper, robust boil is sufficient to eliminate and sanitize the crawfish, ensuring a safe and enjoyable dining experience.

  • What do I do when my crawfish arrive?

    Upon arrival, it is essential to immediately open the shipping container and follow these steps to ensure the vitality of the live crawfish:

    1. Immediate Unpacking: Remove the sack of crawfish from the container promptly upon receipt.
    2. Rinse and Chill: Gently spray the sack down with fresh water, allowing the water to drain completely.
    3. Store and Drain: Return the sack to a cooler or an ice chest equipped with a functional drain. Top the sack with loose ice.
    4. Crucial Note on Drowning: Ensure that melted ice water drains freely. Dormant crawfish submerged in standing water are highly susceptible to drowning.
    5. Preparation for Cooking: The cold temperature will induce a dormant state. Prior to cooking, lightly spray the sack down with water again to “wake” the crawfish.

  • What is the species name of our crawfish?

    Procambarus Clarkii, commonly known as the Red Swamp Crawfish. 

  • What is purged crawfish?

    Our crawfish undergo a specialized purging process involving placement in holding tanks containing clean, highly oxygenated water for a period of 12 to 14 hours. This innovative technique facilitates the cleansing of the gills and a significant portion of the internal entrails.

    Please Note: While this method enhances cleanliness, it is important to understand that it does not result in the full elimination of the digestive tract contents.

  • How much crawfish should I order per person?

    We offer the following guidelines based on common dining scenarios:

    • Standard Meal: Plan for 3 pounds per person when crawfish is the primary feature of the meal.
    • Side/Appetizer: Plan for 1.5 pounds per person when crawfish is served alongside other main proteins.
    • Enthusiast Eaters: For seasoned crawfish consumers, serving sizes may increase to 5 pounds or more per person.

    Note: Individual consumption rates can vary significantly based on the diner’s familiarity with the product and personal preference.

  • What if I receive dead crawfish?

    We guarantee live arrival. A small amount of “dead loss” (less than 5%) is normal during transit. If your dead loss exceeds 5% of the total weight, please take clear photos of the deceased crawfish and contact us immediately upon receipt – must be day of delivery.

  6. Emily Hardy (verified owner) –

    It’s got to be magic! I live right just south of PA so I was skeptical when they advertised next day delivery, but 9am they were here waiting for our fourth of July boil! Beautiful crawfish, only about 10 had parishes and were found while I cleaned the crawfish. Everyone loved the flavor! I had 7 people from Maryland there along with my brother. No one walked away having eaten less than 3-5 lbs! Now about that original boil seasoning if theirs! It will forever be my go to! The vegetables and sausage cooked up in that boil were the best I’ve had! Well done Louisiana crawfish co, y’all made my little Louisiana heart so happy being able to share such a treat with my loved ones up here! If this is how y’all do it every time I’m going to be a happy customer for life. Thank y’all for making it happen!

    I absolutely love ordering from Louisiana Crawfish. My husband and I are from Louisiana but we move often due to the military. We get our sacks every year shipped overnight for our yearly boil. We just may do two boils this year because the quality was so good we crave more. I’ll be a regular customer for sure.

  21. Jason (verified owner) –

    The best crawfish ever. Will order again. Thanks

  22. Stacie Hendrix (verified owner) –

    To no fault of LA Crawfish, our delivery did not make it overnight. I live in a very rural area in WV. We don’t have seafood markets here. I found LA Crawfish on the web and decided I was going to try them.
    Have been wanting fresh live crawfish for a long time. They went above and beyond to rescheduled another shipment for the following day. The crawfish was as advertised. Field run was as good if not better than any select crawfish I have purchased from other suppliers in the past when I lived in GA. The customer service was great. We look forward to making this a yearly if not more tradition in the future. Special thanks to Elizabeth!

  23. Phil Knollmueller (verified owner) –

    Product arrived on time as stated. They were in very good condition with few losses. Will definitely order again.

  24. Ray (verified owner) –

    Crawdads arrived next day as promised. I held them for 5 days in a tank before boiling them for a group of friends during the Talladega race. Death loss was minimal, size and quality was exceptional.

  25. dat vo (verified owner) –

    Everything sô good, my family enjoyed

  26. Tom (verified owner) –

    all alive and good size shipped to Delaware

  27. David K Johnson (verified owner) –

    Wow these were amazing!!!!
    Great size and only around 20 dead (mostly crushed), this was the best yet from you guys !!!!

  28. Ron Robichaux (verified owner) –

    Being raised in Louisiana I enjoy boiling crawfish for friends and family.. Living in Nashville makes it a bit harder on me, thanks to limited fresh seafood.. Thats where Lacrawfish comes into play.. last ten + years LA has never let me down.. This last sack was the select and were very nice size.. Thanks LA Crawfish for making it easy. Ron Robichaux

  29. Sean Shrum (verified owner) –

    Had a hankering for bugs, hopped on the midweek deal Tuesday, day before, ordered 1 hour before shipping deadline, ordered select. Came to the house just after noon.. Good sized bugs in the batch (full hand length on some). Only found 5 dead ones. Definitely a win in my book.

  30. Kenneth Moore (verified owner) –

    They was very good as always that’s why we always order from y’all

  36. Laurena (verified owner) –

    I ordered 2 bags last week for Wednesday and Friday but the one I received on Wednesday were tiny. I called and spoke to Dana, she took care of me and made me the happiest customer. I’ll order another bag this week because she sure went above and beyond for me. Thank you!

  37. Nicole Kummer (verified owner) –
