Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a post about the future of the business and give everyone a little update.

Normally, around this time of year, we would close up shop once crawfish season comes to an end. With the food trailer in the picture, the plan was to continue operating through the colder months and see where things took us.

I’ve really enjoyed having the food trailer and everything it has brought to the company. It has given me a lot of great experiences, allowed me to meet a lot of great people, and taught me a lot along the way. But after taking some time to really think about the direction I want to take the company, I’ve realized that the food trailer isn’t necessarily the route that is going to be best for us moving forward.

With that being said, I’ll be putting the food trailer up for sale sometime this week. It is a turnkey, ready-to-operate trailer, so if anyone is interested or knows someone who may be looking to get into the food truck business, keep an eye out for the upcoming listing.

This isn’t the end of OceanRoots by any means. I’m just taking a step back, reevaluating what works best for the company, and figuring out the best path forward.

I truly appreciate everyone who has supported us along the way. Whether you bought a plate, shared a post, stopped by to say hello, or simply followed along with us, it means more than you know.

More details on the trailer will be posted later this week. 🦐🦀

Good morning, everyone! 🦞

I’ve had a lot of folks reaching out and asking about crawfish for Labor Day weekend, so I wanted to give everyone a quick update.

I’ve talked with my crawfish suppliers, and unfortunately, they aren’t quite ready to open the crawfish ponds yet. As of right now, we’re looking at mid-September before crawfish may become available. Of course, things can change, so we’ll keep everyone updated as soon as we know more.

Hopefully, we can get some crawfish in time for football season! 🏈🦞

I also want to apologize for not being open the past few weekends. I’ve had quite a bit going on with family, along with a foot injury that I’ve been dealing with. I’m hoping to get the trailer back out next weekend and get back to serving everyone!

Thank you all so much for the continued love, support, patience, and understanding. We truly appreciate every single one of you! ❤️

🦞 Live Crawfish Update 🦞

Hey everyone! We wanted to give y’all a quick update on our live crawfish.

I just spoke with our supplier, and he’s decided to leave the ponds alone until September. He caught a good amount this week but ended up putting many of them back because the female crawfish were carrying a lot of eggs. His goal is to let the ponds repopulate and give the remaining crawfish more time to grow, since most of them are still on the small-to-medium side.

With that being said, OceanRoots Fresh Seafood Company will still be operating the food truck as usual! We’ll continue serving all of your Cajun favorites while we wait for the next batch of quality crawfish.

As soon as we can get our hands on fresh live crawfish again, we’ll be back to:

🦞 Boiled crawfish by the pound.
🦞 Half sacks (15 lbs)
🦞 Full sacks (30 lbs)

We appreciate everyone’s patience and support. We’d rather wait and bring y’all bigger, better-quality crawfish than rush the process. We’ll keep everyone updated as soon as they’re available again!

Thank y’all for supporting our small business! ❤️

🚨 Good news, crawfish lovers! 🚨

I just got a call with some unexpected news! I was told I’ll be able to get LIVE crawfish through September, and possibly even October! 🦞

I honestly thought crawfish season ended at the end of June, so this came as a surprise.

With that being said, would anyone be interested in buying live sacks of crawfish?

These will be PRE-ORDER ONLY. I can only get a limited amount each week, so I won’t be able to keep extras on hand. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to take last-minute orders on Fridays or Saturdays, so if you want some, be sure to place your order ahead of time.

And for those who don’t want to fool with cooking them at home, don’t worry—we’ll be boiling fresh crawfish on the OceanRoots Fresh Seafood Co. food truck too! 🔥🦞

If you’re interested, let me know in the comments or send me a message. I’d love to see how much interest there is so I can plan accordingly!
