Crawfish in Tyler, Texas
Hot, spicy Texas crawfish, potatoes and corn ... boiled to perfection! (Staff Photo) |
Some folks call 'em crayfish, crawdads, or mudbugs, but here in Texas they are simply CRAWFISH, whether they are swamp crawfish, spillway crawfish, or pond crawfish.
We've been catching crawfish all our life, and love the tradition of a long, leisurely crawfish boil in spring!
Crawfish are healthy food. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein, low in calories, fat and saturated fat, and a good source of vitamins.
We're looking forward to another great crawfish season in Texas in 2021!

The last five years we have purchased our live, and boiled, crawfish from Wade's Place on East Main Street in Chandler. We've met Wade, and he runs a great seafood restaurant serving crawfish, etouffee, gumbo, catfish, shrimp, oysters, snow crab legs, hand-cut rib-eye steaks, burgers, salads and much more. Included with the boiled crawfish at Wade's are potatoes and corn on the cob.
Wade's is located at the railroad tracks just a block south of Highway 31. We dine at Wade's regularly, and it is highly recommended for great food, friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere. They also do takeout.
Phone 903.849.2729. Also checkout Wade's Place on Facebook for daily specials.
We've also been pleased with the live crawfish we've purchased by the sack from Circle M Crawfish in Big Sandy, on Highway 155 just south of U.S. 80. They've been selling crawfish for over 22 years. The facility is also known as "Rodney's", or "the Crawfish Stand". The facility includes a restaurant, and its menu features crawfish, shrimp, alligator, boudin, along with choice steaks and other items. Live music is often featured Thursday-Saturday evenings with a family friendly atmosphere. Phone 903.636.9199.
