Authentic Crawfish Boil

Crawfish Country Catering offers a memorable experience, an authentic crawfish boil for your corporate event. We are the largest producer and caterer of quality, authentic Louisiana crawfish in the South.

Our crawfish are caught daily. With our own blend of seasonings and quiet-burning, insulated pots, we’re ready to boil.

Crawfish boils, a family tradition in Southwest Louisiana, are growing in popularity across the South. For owners Duane Smith and his 4 sons crawfish farming is a family tradition, too.
 

Crawfish farming made its debut in the 1960s, with cultivation in man-made ponds and management practices such as controlled water levels. Technology has also influenced the industry, including the development of hydraulic-powered boats that enable farmers to move efficiently through the shallow ponds, simultaneously harvesting and grading the crop.

Duane began farming while still in high school. “I didn’t play football. Instead, I fished before and after school.

“You come to love it and live it,” he says.

Over the last 25 years, his original 30-acre pond has grown into a 3,500-acre operation, Duane’s Crawfish Farms, which owns and operates Crawfish Country Catering. We supply to 50 outlets daily, including fresh markets, across the Southern states and beyond.
