Default OT: Where to buy live crawfish?

So, the missus and I are wanting to try cooking crawfish this year. The last time I was at HK market, their stock looked a little... no so lively. I've heard that Fiesta and HEB carry some. Do any of you have suggestions? Muchas gracias.

you need to find out when their shipment arrives. I've had good luck with feisty crawfish from HK, Fiesta, & HEB . Just ask the dude behind the seafood counter

Thanks for the suggestions. So, we ended up grabbing a 30lb bag at Viet Trung grocery store on Beechnut for $2.19/lb. Very lively, some fierce, all good eats.

HEB had live crawfish going for $2.49/lb. HK market was $1.99/lb if you bought a full bag, and $2.39 if you bought half a bag.
