Frequently Asked Questions
What live crustacean species are in stock daily?
We maintain live inventory of Louisiana crawfish (in season), coldwater Maine lobsters, Pacific Dungeness crabs, and Texas blue crabs in our aerated tank systems.
Do commercial customers need to pre-order live crawfish sacks?
While same-day dock loading is available, pre-ordering 24 hours in advance is strongly recommended for volume orders over 5 sacks to guarantee size grading.
Are your holding tanks temperature-controlled?
Yes. Our marine systems circulate chilled, aerated seawater calibrated to exact physiological temperatures to prevent mortality during storage.
Can restaurant operators set up regular weekly delivery accounts?
Yes. We coordinate scheduled commercial route deliveries across southwest Houston, Chinatown, Sugar Land, and Stafford for commercial kitchens.
Do you sell seafood to catering companies and pop-up food trucks?
Yes. We work closely with mobile boil operations and event caterers, offering wholesale tier pricing from single commercial units.
