Live Crawfish Still in Stock!

Live Crawfish Oregon Northern California Seafood In Stock Garden Grove Orange County OC Fire Crab

When the live Louisiana Crawfish season is over (usually around mid-August), we switch over to live Oregon/Northern California Crawfish! These crawfish are more grey/green when they're alive but they're definitely red after we cook them. We will have these in stock till about mid-December. If you haven't tried them, come on in and give them a shot! We have customers who actually prefer these crawfish. They're a little bit bigger and more lobsteresque. We're probably one of the last places in Southern California that still has an inventory of live crawfish. Just come on in and order a few pounds before we truly run out. And we will run out. And then we'll be in the middle of another crawfish drought, like we do every year. The crawfish drought is inevitable so you better come on in and stock up in your belly now.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Fire Crab Orange County Crawfish OC Costume Fun Waiter

We love Halloween! Especially since we love dressing up. The Fire Crab will be open for dine-in and take out, for those interested. And we always encourage everyone to get dressed up, even if it's our mascot, our annoying crawfish waiter. All you need is a weird dress shirt, a mustache, and big bow tie and you're all set! And don't forget the weird voice and your bowl of Crawfish! If we had more live crawfish in stock, we would give them away as a trick if you came in. But unfortunately, around this time of year, live crawfish is hard to come by. But we have plenty of other seafood goodies for you to choose from!

Scary Fire Sauce!

Scary Fire Sauce With Live Oregon Crawfish Seafood Cajun Combo Garden Grove Orange County OC Fire Crab

There's nothing scary about our Fire Sauce! But live Oregon Crawfish is still in stock so you might be scared of these guys. They're bigger than your typical Louisiana Crawfish. The only other thing you need to be scared of is how hot do you want it? Do you like it when it burns? We do. Coming in and going out. And that's scary! But it tastes so good. You can add our Fire Sauce to any seafood combination such as our crawfish and shrimp. We will have live Oregon crawfish for this weekend but it can run out at any time. You can also order some bread to go with your combo so that you can soak up all that Fire Sauce goodness to the very last drop.
