Shipping Restrictions & Permits

We can send live crawfish to most of the lower 48 states. However, no live shipments are allowed to Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, or Minnesota unless you have a permit for boiled crawfish only. Oregon requires a Crayfish Transport Permit from the ODFW portal or by calling (503) 947-6300. Minnesotans seeking live crawfish must contact Chelsey Blanke at (651) 259-5350 or chelsey.blanke@state.mn.us.

Colorado residents are now allowed to receive live crawfish as of January 2024, though a special import license may be necessary. Please check with Colorado Parks & Wildlife for details. If your state does not allow live crawfish in any form, we can ship boiled crawfish instead. Call us at 1-504-655-9972 for assistance.

Note: A 20% restocking fee applies to cancellations after an order has been placed.

Keeping Crawfish Fresh and Alive

• Rinse each sack under cold water immediately upon arrival.
• Store in a cooler with the drain open and place a sealed bag of ice on top.
• Avoid direct sunlight and keep them in a cool environment until you’re ready to boil.

Purge & Boil for Maximum Flavor

Purging:

1. Thoroughly hose down the sack to remove any debris.
2. Empty crawfish into a cooler or tub; rinse again with the drain open.
3. Close the drain, sprinkle a 16 oz. can of salt over them, and add enough water to cover.
4. Let soak for 8–10 minutes, then drain and rinse.

Boiling:

1. Fill a large pot with enough water to submerge the crawfish.
2. Add your seasoning and bring to a rolling boil.
3. Add the crawfish, return to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat and let them soak for 20–25 minutes, depending on your preferred spice level.

Peel and enjoy your Belle River Crawfish while they’re piping hot!

Dead-Loss Disclaimer: Expect 4–5 lbs of dead crawfish per sack during cooler months and again in June (due to temperature changes, molting, etc.). In warmer weather, 2–4 lbs is typical. If you receive more than this, please take a video and submit a ticket on our website. Photos are not acceptable.
