Louisiana Crawfish Tails - where to buy?

any of the AG stores should have them. i get them at Reeves all the time.

I have not found any fresh tail meat these days but some do have frozen. Try La Boilers, jimbos or tramontes in that area. Be prepared to pay out the nose for them.

Tony's has frozen for 10.99.

Most Wal-Marts have great vacuum packed frozen tails in the shrimp section. They are about $7

Please do not buy Chinese. Support the local folks and, they are nasty, anyway. Those Bernard's are gross. I detected them in a dish someone made. I could tell the difference and stopped eating. I get really angry when someone tries to serve me Chinese seafood products.

I've seen LA tails at Sam's. I don't recall the price, but they weren't as high as some folks are reporting, above. I bought some at a grocery store a few weeks about for about 10 or 11 bucks. Can't recall which one, though.

I think Sam's had them frozen recently for about 10 or 11 dollars too.

The ones I saw at Matherne's were high because they were fresh, which are going to run pretty high at this time of year.

thanks y'all. i'm going to go to tony's soon.

i went to off the hook. they only had them from Spain. i tried them, they sucked.

SPAIN???? You're kidding me. That's a black mark on them. I'm sad to hear that.

Right now fresh crawfish tails are non-existent pretty much. In another week or two crawfish tails will start showing up. The crawfish peelers will not peel much when everything they get can be sold live not to mention how high the prices are right now.

By the way, I was at Sam's this evening and crawfish tails were $17.49/lb not $10-$11 like some people suggested. And they are $17.49 for frozen. Didn't see any fresh there.

I'm afraid people should just swear off crawfish dishes completely unless they prep them at home IF they wish to avoid imported crawfish. That product is overwhelmingly used in commercial kitchens and it doesn't matter what time of year it is...simple economics at work.
