Once the season gets going around late march or April hopefully. Is it possible to get live crawfish in atlanta? Or do I need to order online?
I'm wondering if I could make friends with one of the owners of a Louisiana resteraunt around here and have them order a couple extra sacks
For those of you who have orders online, how much in prime season, lets say early may, do crawfish cost to order?
TIA

Cajun Meat Company in Marietta brings orders back from La weekly during season.

Cajun Meat Company in Marietta's markup is so high it's cheaper to have it flown in to the cargo airport FedEx and pick it up the next morning. We do that every may. We fly in a couple hundred pounds. They box it and ice em up and we don't have any Dead ones. Multiple websites around Lafayette offer overnight.
If you'd rather get it from a local company then Catering Cajun in Marietta/East Cobb is best. They actually supply and boil all the crawfish for the ATL Alumni Boil.

Deanies seafood in Metry would be the cheapest I think. The airport is just a few miles from their location so the bugs don't get rough handling which is good for you on the other end.

Dekalb Farmers Market usually has them for those of us who don't live halfway to Chattanooga.

Heard Tonys was opening a second location there so you should be good.

The crawfish from here are locally harvested. The link is for their annual Crawfish Festival.

Maybe a call will put you in contact with the supplier.

Understood. If you can't find the retailer in your area, perhaps a supplier could put you in touch with one.

shipshoal,

i love that restaurant. It is one of the greatest unknowns in ATL. I fear that some blogger will tell about the great sunday brunch and other cajun fare and create long lines one day.
