AN EDUCATION ABOUT CRAWFISH
Unlike shrimp, there are no standard sizes for live crawfish. Here are some terms and general sizes we use when grading our product.
QUALITY GRADE – VALUE
These boat run, sight graded crawfish are a mixture of sizes. These crawfish are washed, cleaned and sight graded. They are delivered in our special purple sacks. At the beginning of the season, this is all we sell. Until crawfish have grown to full size and there are enough to grade, this is the standard and will include the large ones. Once grading begins, later in the season, this bag will have medium sized crawfish (my personal favorite).
SELECT GRADE – LARGE
This is our restaurant grade large-medium size crawfish. Most people are going to say these are “big” crawfish and many will brag that they are the best they have ever had. They will impress. These crawfish are washed, cleaned & graded. Select graded crawfish are typically only available during April and May and varies year to year.
