Founded in 1985 by David, Crawfish Hole began as a small family operation with a single tractor, a 50-acre pond, and a vision to share Louisiana’s best seafood with the world. What started as a modest effort to ship live crawfish to one customer in Virginia has grown into Louisiana’s top shipper of live crawfish, now operating across multiple facilities in Natchitoches, New Orleans, and Bunkie. The business maintains a family-owned and operated model, emphasizing integrity, quality, and customer satisfaction. Over the years, it has expanded its product offerings to include Cajun and Creole staples like turduckens, smoked andouille, and Louisiana blue crabs, all shipped fresh daily. Their commitment to proven methods ensures live delivery or a full refund, a promise backed by decades of experience.

The company has shipped over two million pounds of crawfish in a single year, a testament to its scale and trustworthiness. Its team, described as a "krewe," works diligently to ensure every order is handled with care, from harvest to delivery. The business continues to uphold its founding principles, quality, service, and fair pricing, while expanding its reach across the nation.

As a cornerstone of Natchitoches’ food culture, Crawfish Hole embodies the heart of Louisiana’s culinary identity, bringing the flavor of the bayou to homes far and wide.
