Is it crawfish season yet?
Yes—crawfish season is here at Dodie’s. 🦞 – Updated January 2026
At Dodie’s, we source live, fresh crawfish straight from Louisiana and prepare them fresh when available. Because crawfish season and supply can fluctuate, and the shipments we receive depend on what our Louisiana suppliers are bringing in, availability may change throughout the week. We work hard to keep crawfish in stock all season long and share updates regularly so our guests know when crawfish is in and ready to eat.

How do you eat Cajun crawfish?
You’ll be pinchin’ some tail in no time. 🦞 Start by peeling off the first two or three rings of the shell, then pinch the end of the tail and pull the tender crawfish tail meat free. Simple, messy, and absolutely worth it.
Pro tip: take it slow, grab plenty of napkins, and enjoy crawfish the way it’s meant to be—hands-on and full of flavor.
