I had a great experience with cajuncrawfish.com! Today is 7/7/19 and for the past few weeks I've been shopping various crawfish providers who would ship to Minnesota for a 4th of July family get together. First of all, I am an awful cook but I LOVE shell fish and wanted to learn. This is relevant because I needed a lot of information and help. I ended up choosing cajuncrawfish.com over lacrawfish.com.
Factors that were important:
- live crawfish
- reliable delivery
- price per pound
- flexibility of quantity ordered
- size of crawfish
- amount of anticipated prep
Cajuncrawfish was able to answer my phone call and basically acknowledge/speak to all of the factors above. Lacrawfish.com was almost as good, but ultimately I chose cajuncrawfish because lacrawfish was out of stock when I called to place the order on 7/1/19.
All other places I contacted (local and in other states) were either not able to deliver exactly 20 lbs, couldn't deliver by 12pm Saturday 7/6/19 (the day of our crawfish boil), did not have live crawfish, or were more expensive.
The thing that really sold me was that I didn't need to do anything other than rinse the crawfish. I didn't need to purge nor pick out the dead ones because cajuncrawfish.com promised the crawfish were fresh enough to eat even if they arrived dead.
They package arrived at 11am on the promised delivery date. Most were slow moving so I was worried they were dead, but after rinsing I saw that at least 90% were alive. I was thrilled. I ordered the 'field run' size but holy smokes they were big. It was a good mix of what I (and my family) considered big and small. Which was ideal for satisfying the taste of a large group.
The instructions and videos on their website were specifically written for newbies like me, and even I was able to deliver a successful boil. They tasted so good, and my family was happy.
Lastly, the packaging, seasoning, and crawfish were neatly sorted. Super impressed and very likely to recommend as well as order again. Experience was great for this Minnesota Vikings fan. Cheers! read more
