What Is Seafood Boil Delivery?

Seafood boil delivery is a convenient way to enjoy authentic Louisiana-style seafood boils at home without visiting a restaurant or seafood market. Instead of sourcing ingredients separately, you receive a complete meal shipped frozen to your door with premium seafood, signature seasonings, and cooking instructions.

At Crabby Bags, we pioneered the seafood boil-in-a-bag concept during the 2020 pandemic as a solution for families who wanted authentic Cajun seafood without leaving home. What started as a meal prep solution for our seafood-loving son became a nationwide movement—now serving over 800,000 seafood enthusiasts across America.
