Purged

I don’t sell just any crayfish out of the lake for food purposes. All crayfish are held in tanks of flowing, aerated well water for several days. These purged crayfish are a quality product you just won’t find elsewhere.

Graded

Going with the cheapest crayfish on the block doesn’t save you much if you get a lot of dead or undersized crayfish in your shipment. All crayfish are graded and sorted according to size. I don’t sell undersized crayfish!

I am relocating my Crayfish business from Wisconsin to Michigan in 2025! Michigan Crayfish should be available starting August – September 2025. Stay Tuned!
