We had a great first week on March 6 and are ready for our Saturday, March 13 pick-up! We’re pushing the pick-up time back to 11:00 am to noon to allow extra drive time. This will allow us to bring you live Louisiana crawfish that were swimming in the ponds Friday morning…Saturday morning! Super-fresh! The price is holding steady this week, but with warmer air across Louisiana, the supply should increase over the coming weeks and the price should continue to come down. The size is running around a medium-mix. Those first boiled crawfish of the season tasted SO GOOD, so time to get your boil on! That picture below is from Saturday. The weather looks great this weekend, partly cloudy and lower 80s. You can order online and choose to pre-pay or pay with cash at pick-up. Order a full-sack (31-36 pounds) or a half-sack (15-18 pounds), we have you covered!

Time to place your order for live Louisiana crawfish for pick-up this Saturday morning, March 6, from 9-10 am! We sell by the full sack and half-sack. A full sack this week is $145 + tax (31-36 lbs, ~$4.25/lb) and a half-sack (~15-18 lbs) is $79.99 + tax. Order online while quantities are still available. Please order by 8 am Friday to ensure we’ll have crawfish for you Saturday morning, as we don’t always have extra for sale on Saturdays.
We’ll have live Louisiana crawfish for pick-up Saturday morning, March 6, from 9:00-10:00 am at our location at 5540 W. Main Street, on the back side of McLeod’s. Orders are being accepted now via $50 deposits since the price per pound isn’t known yet as of March 1. The balance will be due at pick-up.
A few quick notes about early-season crawfish: the sizes are smaller, the mortality rate is higher and the prices are elevated. That’s just the way it is. The deep freeze that impacted Louisiana in mid-February with low temperatures in the 10s made the situation even worse, with some saying the cold set the season back a month. So, keep your expectations in line with the time of year. We do our best to bring top-quality crawfish to the Wiregrass from what’s available.
