St Louis MO area stores still stock lots of commercial crayfish.... far from home, but ample supply. You cook yourself. The real cajun swamprat down-delta cuisine is not crayfish, its government subsidized food found mainly in south orleans school districts , and also sold in all mini stores : **frozen fish patties with cheese UNDER the breading**, fried okra, blackeyes peas, both types of grits, countless types of beans and rice, fried foods, and **Over 3,000 Authentic Cajun Food Products:**: https://www.cajungrocer.com/ 3,000 old-time cajun food products delivered anywhere and only marked up 80%. But that 3,000 item site has jack shit offerings for beans or rice vs a genuine swampland supermarket. It only has THREE BRANDS of beans! THREE suppliers?!?!?! : https://www.cajungrocer.com/bulk-beans If you live deep in the cajun swamps, a store will carry 40 brands of beans, and 100 bean offerings. Not fucking three vendors like that 3,000 item store that only sells to millionaire foodie snobs pretending to be cajun. They do sell LIVE crayfish to foodie snobs who hate beans : https://www.cajungrocer.com/live-crawfish I like the authentic smells of actual minimarts deep into swamplands though, and actual cajun supermarkets. They have a set of aromas in them few other stors have. I also like the real shrimp wholesale OUTDOOR marketplaces (WHOLESALE!) and such. Most are indoor mega-warehouses , like in Tokyo, but the best ones are near the actual boat docks. Boat shrimp , not FARM RAISED tigershrimp, , are the the one no-compromise even a poor cajun will not skimp on. real shrimp. Some markets are SEMI-wholesale but popular but not exactly on docks : westwegoshrimplot :https://www.facebook.com/westwegoshrimplot/ If you think those people speak with a TWANG in their voice... you have never ever talked to local residents from half an hour north of Pensacola, Florida. Twangiest speakers in entire USA!
