How do I hold live crawfish?Updated 10 days ago

Live crawfish are highly perishable and must be cooked on the day of delivery.

We strongly advise against storing live crawfish overnight. Attempting to hold the product overnight significantly increases the risk of excessive mortality and degradation of quality.

Our Guarantee Policy: Our guarantee for live crawfish is strictly limited to the date of delivery. Any crawfish held overnight is done so entirely at the customer's risk, and no refunds will be issued for live product mortality incurred after the delivery date.

Emergency Overnight Holding Method (Not Recommended):

While we advise against holding the crawfish overnight, the following method offers the best potential for survival, though it is not guaranteed:

1. Spray the sack down with fresh water.

2. Place the sack into a cooler or ice chest that is equipped with a drain.

3. Top the sack with loose ice.

4. Crucially: Ensure the drain remains unobstructed. Dormant crawfish submerged in standing water are highly susceptible to drowning.

FINAL POLICY NOTE: NO REFUNDS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR LIVE CRAWFISH HELD OVERNIGHT.
