I've had them at the Basin Bayou location of Nick's when they're in season. Might be worth a call to see if that's in the works for the beach location.

Fresh boiled are pretty rare around here even when in season. Cajuns don't like them leaving the border.

I agree with Kurt. I used to do my own boil every spring but the only place I could get a live sack was at Goatfeathers so you may want to call them...

One of my best memories from living in NOLA was getting a bushel of crawfish (with Dixie beer, of course), and munching on them on the stairs at the lakefront with our friends. YUM!

I'll have to try Goatfeathers' crawfish. Thanks, BeachSiO2.

The go to guy for local boiled crawfish in South Walton is Richard Stafford. He makes the best on the planet. I've tried many times to replicate what he does but....he's got us beat. We'll be traveling to Breaux Bridge, Louisiana this week to eat crawfish.....Sorry, we won't be able to bring any back.... In our family, they end up on the endangered species rather quickly come dinner time......Richard can probably tell you where to find some locally.....

One note of caution is that I've never gotten cooked ones from them, only live ones I could cook myself. My better half is from Central LA and went to UL-Lafayette so we have the family recipe that's almost as famous as your Chili recipe I have adopted.;-)

Don't know of anyone nearby but I did make a trip to the airport in Ft Walton earlier this morning and Niceville Seafood had a big sign stating they had Live Crawfish!

Don't know how much longer the season runs, but Dockside Cafe & Oyster Bar- intersection of SR 20 (John Sims) and SR 85 in the North Lights Marina in Niceville has been doing Saturday Crawfish boils.
