Anyone know of any good places to buy live crawfish in the Houston area?

Also, if I had someone pick some up in Beaumont on the way to Houston, would they live until the next day?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not unless you want to pay 3.50 a pound for live

This could go on the Food Board...but I will help...

Airline Seafood on Richmond, east of Shepperd

The Fiesta on Kirby near Reliant Stadium has had them in the past.

I would call both of these places to see what they have.

That's so expensive for live ones!

I'm looking to pay around $2 / lb. I think the places in Beaumont were around that price, but can't seem to find any of their phone #s on the internet.

Goodluck with that. Off The Hook in B.R. quoted me $2.95 today.

I can move it...

By the way, you will never get $2 per pound here...

Rose's in Kemah was about 3.99 2-3 weeks ago, so I'd assume they are about 3.00-3.50 a pound right now. Give them a call, they might give you a price break depending on how much you buy. Good deals on shrimp right now though.

I guess I'm really out of touch with current crawfish prices these days.

Thanks for the suggestions!

What are they running?

ETA: last time I filled my freezer for a case of beer, got to love making deals 80 miles offshore

I think I paid 4.29 for 10-12 at 5 pounds or more a few weeks ago.


Which is pretty good for Rose's.
