Man was I excited to get my hands on some live crawfish. I was looking to host a crawfish boil and Cliff's Marina had fresh Louisiana red crawfish for sale and these crawfish were amazing! These were some delicious mud bugs and the crew at Cliff's were very friendly and placing an order was fast and easy. I'll be back to grab more! read more

I've been craving crawfish so badly! I saw a flyer on FB and went and Yelp this place. I saw great reviews of this spot and decided to order 5lbs of red crawfish.

I got some big ones, but mostly small ones. Now I have a go to place when I am craving crawfish! I was told they open until November for crawfish season! read more

Being from Louisiana it was hard finding alive crawfish but Cliffs Marina is the spot I lucked up on and every week I'm going to get a few pounds to cook and they even get crawfish shipped from Louisiana when in season im about to head there now for the california reds. Check them out read more

Fast service and friendly too. The small crawfish from Louisiana was actually meaty. I would order again.

A good price for clean and non dead crawfish. Other places I have bought from always had dead crawfish or really dirty but at Cliff's Marina, the crawfish were a good size and clean. My go to place for live red crawfish when in season. read more

This place use to be amazing! $5 per pounds now it's like $7? They pre-scoop for you with dead crawfish inside. I no longer go here for crawfish anymore. I buy locally at my supermarket for $6 a pound and I get to pick my own. read more

Cliff's Marina was a lifesaver. I had ordered for out of state and my order wasn't going to make it on my scheduled delivery date. I called up Cliff's and the gal on the phone was able to provide me with 30lbs of crawfish and it was held for me for same day pickup. read more

Owner's and staff where helpful gave us recommendations and instructions on how to handle and transport crawdads and had everything ready for us when we came read more

I've been coming to Cliff's Marina for the past year or two during crawfish season. Sorry, I've been hiding this from some of you crawfish lovers. Cliff's is fairly easy to find, you can't miss it as there is a big sign out front. This hidden gem sells blue crawfish starting around the summer until when the rain hits in the fall. I love the service here, all workers are super friendly, nice, and easy to talk to. I noticed a man buying sardines at one point, so I'm assuming this can also be a bait and tackle shop? I'm not entirely sure since I don't fish. The crawfish here is much cleaner than red crawfish that come from the rice field. Cliff's also sells seasonings, boil bags, and oils for crawfish boils as well. I've also seen some snacks for those who might need some for their fishing trip. I usually call in advance to reserve a few lbs of crawfish. Please note that this is a first come first serve basis as well - though I have not had a problem with getting the amount of crawfish I have called in, with a pick up time of around 2pm the latest. read more

Excellent customer service! I came here for crawfish and they were very friendly and welcoming. My boyfriend called in advance to reserve the crawfish and I went and picked them up that Saturday. I needed 8lbs of crawfish for Fourth of July (Sunday) and they had the blue crawfish available for $5.50/lb. Most of the crawfish were pretty tiny but at least our cravings were satisfied. I didn't have a cooler on me so they bagged it, placed it in paper bag, iced it and I asked for another black bag to place the paper bag in for my trip home. The gentleman weighing the crawfish offered to help carry the the crawfish out to my car but I declined. He was very sweet, he gave me instructions on how to store them until the next day bc I picked up a day ahead. Basically keep them in the fridge out of the water so they don't drown. read more

Used to drive all the way to San Jose for fresh crawfish cravings until I discovered Cliff's. Just tried their blue crawfish. Can't wait for the red ones soon! read more

Family owned with great customer service. Purchased 20 lbs of crawfish and sausage for a "Cajun style" boil the next day and couldn't have been happier. Will most definitely be back for more before the season ends. read more

Cliff's Marina - Formerly "live" blue Crawfish and Sausage from Cliff's. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Sacramento, California

Saw this place advertising their crawfish on a FB page so decided to check them out and placed an order. Boy, were we not disappointed one bit!! The customer service was great! They were so sweet and knew a lot about their crawfish. They were very accommodating, offering ice if needed. We bought 30lbs and they gave us 32lbs, in case any were dead. Again, customer service was *chef's kiss*. After rinsing, we only found like 5 dead ones. They were big and juicy! Delicious! The place is a cute little shop with minimal parking in front but it works! Definitely found our go to spot for live crawfish. Will come back again! read more

Best place to purchase crawfish. Whenever we host a boil, we come here. They are always large and you will not be disappointed

This place is a gem. Their live crawfish is so fresh and taste good. Excellent customer service too. Definitely we'll be back for sure.

So glad I found this place! I've been buying overpriced frozen crawfish for the longest time. Friendly staff and yummy crawfish too!

SO SO happy my husband found this place. We've been wanting some mud bugs, but didn't want to pay for overpriced tiny frozen ones at restaurants. Michelle is very friendly, and super helpful! The live crawfish they had were huge! We bought a bag of frozen (we didn't have the pot big enough for some live ones), and immediately made them as soon as we got home. 4 lbs was definitely NOT enough! In fact, my husband is checking out pots so he can go back and buy more live ones this week. Best crawfish we've had on the west coast! read more

My first experience with crawdads was when the husband and I were dating back in 1982. He was living up Sac at the time and I in SF. One weekend in the summer, over countless (because I lost count of how many I had) gin and tonics and outdoors overlooking a lake, we devoured 10 pounds of these yummy crawdaddies! I was a quick learner (so I thought) and got the technique down in no time on shelling these tiny crustaceans, but to find my fingers all cut up and sore the next morning! Hubs said I was doing it wrong!! The gin and tonics must've numbed all feelings cause I felt no pain at all while shelling them. Fast forward, 33 years later, every summer (actually beginning May through October when they are available), Memorial Day, Father's Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, goes without 10-12 pounds of crawdads as appetizers before our family BBQ! My whole family (kids and boyfriends) has grown to love these crustaceans and expect it every time we visit Sac. This morning, I called ahead to see if they had any available since I was driving a family member home from SF to Sac. The nice gentleman on the phone said they didn't, due to selling out over Father's Day. :( However, they may have some this afternoon :) and took my number down to call me if they get some. A little after noon, the same gentleman called and said they have some in and will have the 10 pounds I want. Fresh caught!! YES!!!!!! I love Cliff's Marina! I've come with hubs numerous times and a few on my own to buy the crawdads. The gentlemen that have helped us over the years are always friendly and their crawdaddies are always fresh and live! On some occasions, when we would buy and bring back to SF, they always provide ice for us to keep the crawdads alive in the cooler. Great customer service! Back in 1982, the price was around $1.25 a pound, it is now $4 but still worth it to be able to feast on these yummy little mudbugs! I hope they stay open forever cuz I will be back every summer! :) read more

This is where I go when I want to cook some crawdads, mudpups, etc. I don't own a boat so I cannot comment on the boating services. The people are nice and friendly, the place is small and right on the river. If you are looking for crawfish, I'd advise giving them a call before heading to Freeport. The storefront is below street level and the stairs are a bit steep. I could sit outside for an hour just watching the river go by. read more

We are so glad to visit this place yesterday. We bought 10lbs of live crawfish.The owner was so friendly and accommodating. We cooked right away once we got home, we did not purge it anymore since the crawfish were from tank. Taste good,no muddy-like-taste. We will love to buy here again if we will visit sacramento. Worth the money! read more

So I've passed by this Marina many times, I never have stopped until Sunday on my way home from camping! I had just got off the freeway at Freeport at the edge of the Delta when I was headed for Walnut Grove. Saw this sign displaying Fresh Crawfish(Crawdads) for sale! I flipped a upturn and went inside where I was warmly greeted by the owner and son! He showed me the Crawdads fresh and live! Nice Big Crawdads! I got 2lbs and he packed them in ice and a bag to keep them fresh till I got home! The marina is right on the water too! read more
