The people I work for in California want to get some live crawfish shipped out. What companies do y’all recommend?
Would be into Santa Barbra or LAX if needed.
TIA

Contact San Diego LSU Alumni and maybe share their BIG trucked-in order.

Also have your Cal friends see if any wholesale fish places already have live Louisiana crawfish. A few Vietnamese (NOLA connections) restaurants out there serve La-style boiled crawfish starting with live.

Looks like a good time, but those prices are absurd…

$91.50 per head for a table of 10 for 5lbs crawfish/ea and drinks isn't that bad outside of LA.

In TX we're paying $10/lb for cooked. Consider add'l shipping to CA plus general liberal madness taxes and $91.50 is probably a cheap afternoon there.

$10/lb for boiled crawfish is equally absurd.
