What's a good place to order shellfish from?

[Chaotic42]

I'm in Indiana, and even in the large store near me, you can't get crab, oysters, or crawfish. They do have lobster, I have to give them credit for that.

Can you mail order stuff like that? I'm hurting for some crawfish bisque, and I'd like to make some.

As a bonus, here's a recipe from this site.

--
1/4 lb. Butter
1/2 cup Onions, chopped fine
1/2 cup Flour
1-lb. Crawfish Tails, cooked and peeled (Shrimp will work also.)
1/2 Bunch of Green Onions
2 cups Half and Half
2 cups Whipping Cream
2 cups Rich Chicken Stock
2 tsp Red Pepper (One if you're name's not Boudreaux)
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Onion Powder

--Melt butter, add grated onion, saute 5 minutes.
--Add flour, stirring to mix, cook approx 2 minutes till thick.
--Add hot chicken stock, stirring to combine. Simmer mixture 5 minutes, stirring
constantly.
--Grind crawfish tails and green onions in processor, add to soup base. Mix well and
simmer 5 minutes stirring constantly making sure mixture does not stick.
--Add Half and Half and Whipping Cream, simmer on low 5 minutes.
--Add seasonings, stirring to combine; cut off heat.
--Serve with a loaf of New Orleans French bread

Sounds good.

When I was a kid we used to trap crawfish by the hundreds. I don't know where to buy them, though.

After eating them we fed the shells to the chickens and the yolks were red.

Weird. I didn't think the color would come off like that. I've seen red in yolks, but that wasn't from crawfish.

I'm very wary of eating frozen seafood. I grew up along the coast my whole life, so it's weird not being able to go down and buy a pound of fresh shrimp, or go to the marina and get some flounder.

I had the bisque at a restaurant when I went home a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to just order gallons of it and bring it back.

I got crabs from my exgirlfriend. I didn't even order it, it just came with the tuna.

Did you feel bad about it later when you ate them?

Why would i feel bad about eating a fish sandwich. It was funny how the fish sandwich smelled like fish, but tasted like chicken.
