🦪 Boutique Oysters

Discover the next level of oysters at Krawdaddy Krewe with our hand-selected Boutique collection — featuring standout varieties like Magic Hat, Murder Point, Brightsides, and more. These aren't your everyday bottom-harvested Louisiana oysters. Grown using advanced suspended floating cage techniques in pristine waters across North America — from the Gulf of America and Louisiana bays to the East Coast and even Canadian shores — this off-bottom method ensures consistent quality, deep cups, clean shells, and plump, flavorful meats. Constant water flow and protection from sediment and predators create buttery textures, balanced brininess, and refined, nuanced tastes that shine whether slurped raw, grilled, or dressed with mignonette. We're proud to source these craft oysters from innovative farms and deliver them fresh straight to your door — because at Krawdaddy Krewe, we bring the best of the sea to NOLA and beyond.

🦞 Lobster Care Instructions

To temporarily store live lobster after delivery and before cooking, follow these steps:

• Keep Them Cool and Moist: Place lobsters in a cooler or ventilated container with drainage. Cover with a damp cloth, towel, or seaweed to keep them moist.
• Use Ice Packs: Place sealed ice packs or leak-proof ice bags on top of the covering. Maintain a temperature between 32–40°F (0–4°C). Do not let lobsters touch ice or sit in water.
• Ensure Ventilation: Leave the lid slightly open or use a container that allows airflow. Avoid airtight storage.
• Store in a Cool Area: Keep them in a fridge, garage, or shaded spot away from direct heat or sun.
• Check Condition: Periodically check that they're still moving and the covering stays damp. Replace ice packs if needed.
• Cook Within 24 Hours: For best results, cook lobsters within 24 hours of delivery—ideally the same day.
• ⚠ Avoid: Submerging in water or melted ice, which can kill them. Do not remove claw bands until ready to cook.
