Live & Boiled Crawfish Near Me in Houston TX | Swamp Kingz
July 26, 2026
By the Swamp Kingz Kitchen Team
Hunting for live boiled crawfish near me in Houston? When the season is running, Swamp Kingz Cajun Kitchen & Bar boils fresh crawfish by the pound at 2310 Highway 6 South, Suite A, Houston, TX 77077. Call (281) 558-5555 to check today's catch or order online.
Boiled crawfish are live crawfish simmered in seasoned Cajun water until the shells turn bright red and the meat pulls clean from the tail. We boil in small batches so the seasoning is fresh and the crawfish arrive hot in the bag.
Live In, Boiled Out
Good crawfish start live and heavy — a full sack of squirming mudbugs, not pre-cooked and reheated. We season the boil water, drop the batch, and bag it with corn, potatoes, and sausage. That freshness is what separates a real boil from a warmed-over one; our what to look for in Houston crawfish post breaks it down.
How to Eat Them (the Right Way)
Pinch the tail, twist, and pull the meat; suck the head if you want the seasoning-rich juice — that's the Louisiana move. Order by the pound and match your heat from mild to extra hot.
Season Matters
Crawfish is seasonal — peak runs roughly February through May, tapering by early July. Not sure if it's still on? Read is crawfish season over? or the full 2026 season guide. Off-season we boil snow crab and shrimp instead.
