When is crawfish season?
For Louisiana crawfish, Visit New Orleans gives January through July as the broad season, with March, April and May as the peak months.[29] Louisiana growers also expect boils to be at their best in March, April and May.[28] Houston sits between the two largest producing states, Louisiana and Texas, so the same rhythm applies here: small and pricey in January and February, plentiful and cheaper in spring, and gone by late summer.

Weather moves the calendar. In early 2026 freezes in Louisiana sent crawfish into their burrows and cut supply, and KBTX reported that local sellers expected relief in late February or early March.[B] For the full picture, including how the 2025 and 2026 seasons went, see crawfish season in Texas.
Texas crawfish vs Louisiana crawfish
Louisiana is the largest producer, and Texas is second. Texas A&M AgriLife counts about 40 Texas producers on close to 18,000 acres. Its aquaculture specialist Todd Sink notes that Texas averages about 650 pounds per acre, the Louisiana standard, and that some Texas farms that raise crawfish in dedicated ponds year round, rather than rotating with rice as many Louisiana farms do, have harvested up to 850 pounds per acre in good seasons.[A] On a menu in Spring, you will rarely see the origin listed; ask if it matters to you.
How crawfish is sold and served
- Boiled, by the pound. The classic way. Crawfish are boiled in seasoned water, often with corn, potatoes and sausage, and served on trays. Restaurants and takeout spots usually price by the pound and some sell “market price” that changes weekly.
- Live, by the sack or pound. For home boils. Sacks are typically sold by weight; ask the seller how much they weigh that day.
- Tail meat. Peeled tails go into étouffée, pasta, fried tails and boudin. Frozen tail meat is sold all year.
- Seasoning. Spice levels vary a lot from place to place. If you are ordering for a group, ask for mild or medium and add heat at the table.
Tips for buying crawfish in Spring
- Check that a place is boiling that day. Many crawfish spots in the area run only during the season and some only on certain days.
- Early season crawfish are smaller and cost more. If size matters, wait for March to May.[29][B]
- For live crawfish, keep them cool and damp, not submerged, and cook them the same day. Throw out any that are dead before cooking.
- Prices change weekly in the season, so confirm the current price by the pound before you order a large amount.
