We’ll be back soon for our seventh season in Dothan! If you’re new to Cajun Roots Crawfish, let’s give you a little background. A job relocation in 2015 from Lafayette, Louisiana, the heart of Cajun Country, to Dothan, Alabama, led to the creation of Cajun Roots Crawfish. Live crawfish weren’t available in Dothan and coming from Louisiana, life without crawfish just isn’t the same! Thus, we were incorporated in February 2016 and have been bringing over live Louisiana crawfish every season since.
We don’t have a typical storefront with consistent, staffed hours. Rather, we keep our overhead costs low and pass the savings on to you, focusing on bringing the freshest live crawfish to Dothan during set times each week. Normally, our pick-up times are Saturday mornings, delivering Friday’s catch, so you know it’s fresh! We operate on the back side of MeLeod’s, a great local bar on the west side of Dothan, just off Hwy 84. We accept orders online with payment through Square, a safe, established website for small businesses. Pick-up is quick and easy, with prepaid sacks placed in your cooler as you drive-thru. We sell by the full sack and half-sack only, not by the pound.
Don’t let the lack of a fancy storefront fool you – we’re focused on live Louisiana crawfish with the best prices and quality possible! We’ve been around the industry since 2005 in Louisiana, but we’re local to Dothan now, heavily vested in our local community. If you love crawfish and haven’t tried us yet, we hope to serve you in 2022! -David
