How Much Crawfish Do I Need?

It depends on your guests and what else you serve, but here is a good guideline.

• 10 lbs. | 2-3 people
• 20 lbs. | 4-6 people
• 30 lbs. | 6-10 people
• 40 lbs. | 8-12 people
• 50 lbs. | 10-15 people

These numbers are based on about 3 lbs. per person. This is an average order in a crawfish restaurant in Louisiana. Big eaters will eat 5 lbs or more.
