We trap our crayfish wild from the deep crystal-clear lakes of northern Minnesota. Only the largest crayfish make it to our facility to be sold live and/or to be cooked. (The smaller crayfish are processed as natural fertilizer) The crayfish we trap are considered a large species with medium to large claws. They are slightly smaller than the red swamp crawfish from Louisiana, but our crayfish are the cleanest you will find. Will come naturally purged and ready to be cooked!
