Live in MN. Anybody know of a good place to have crawfish delivered for a boil? Has anyone used:

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I've used LA Crawfish Co and have never been disappointed. They have a lot of options.

I've used LACrawfish for 10+ years. Great service.

La is pretty decent but I’ve experienced dead crawfish a couple times. I switched to cajuncrawfish.com and they’re on the money. Larger ones are available too

I could check with a friend who does a party every Memorial day and gets 80 pounds, nice, live mudbugs.

To the OP, I don't think you can go wrong either way. Price shop them both.

Pro tip, Do not ever eat a crawdad with a straight tail. It means they were dead before they hit the boil.

Have Fun! :thumb:

Looking forward to seeing your Boil

Similar experience with the Louisiana Crawfish Company as someone else posted. Have ordered from them 4 times, 3 good and 1 time had the majority dead upon opening (and they refused to do anything about it).

LACrawfish for us here on Long Island.
Never a disappointment.

I used to be a buyer for a seafood wholesaler. Here's an insider tip: Don't spend extra for "Selects" or "Extra Large". Get mediums.

WHile large ones look good, a crawfish's head grows faster and larger than its tail. Mediums have a greater meat-to-shell ratio.

Did you check and see if Coastal Seafoods can do anything for you? Figured maybe a local place would be easier.

Nothing wrong with straight tail boiled crawfish.

Can respect that article but disagree with it. We were talking about shipped crawfish not fresh ones from the bayou.
