In Baton Rouge, who's got the biggest live crawfish available? Or is it just a crap shoot?

Boil a select sack and slip a small lobster from the supermarket in there. When you pour them out, call dibs.

Big is not better. Personally, this late in the year, I'd look for small to medium because big ones this late in the year will be extremely unfortunate to peel and hard to season. I suspect finding medium crawfish this late in the year with as wet a year as its been will actually be harder than finding fricking mini-lobsters.

In short, this is the time to look for crabs, not crawfish but that's just me. These frickers in TX will buy crawfish in restaurants into August and I simply don't get it because they are predictably shitty to eat...

No one particular place is going to have bigger crawfish than the next on a consistent basis. It just doesn't work like that.

I got 2 sacks from La Lobsters across the river this past weekend. They were a perfect mix of medium to large with a handful of really large thrown in there. I had no problem properly cooking, soaking, or peeling them, and they turned out tasty. It's still pretty easy to find qualify crawfish.
