These guys have been my go to for live crawfish and crabs for over twenty years now. I've never had a negative experience in product quality or customer service. In fact the guys have helped me out a couple of times with special orders. read more

Live crawfish were excellent! Especially since I waited till the last minute on Mardi Gras day !

Best seafood on the Northshore! A great variety of fresh and frozen seafood. Excellent boiled crawfish and best service ever by two local guys that are customer friendly. Stop by soon! read more

Boy, I stopped here to get some bugs for lunch. They came right out of the water hot and quite spicy. I got them home. They were very juicy and really nice size crawfish. I think they're about $4.50 a pound. read more

Bateau's Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

Crawfish was a bit salty & the boiled shrimp were soggy, mealy & hard to peel. I should have known, as they were in a pan filled with reddish liquid, that I'm assuming was the boil water. Neither was hot, barely warm. read more

Competitive prices, very helpful, super friendly and we always get great crawfish from them. Highly recommended

Bought live crawfish, they loaded them up, I should have looked at them. Got them home, very small, a bunch of dead ones and they had clumps and clumps of dirt. I had to wash them forever to get them halfway clean. Will never buy from this place again, buyer beware it's a really bad place to get crawfish from, they were more expensive than Winn Dixie, Acquistaplace, Mandeville seafood but at a worse quality. Terribly disappointed and won't be back. read more

The people there have always been great, I need something they get it. I travel 33 miles out my way to buy from them.

The only place in the past 6 years that I would go to to purchase live. They are always a great size and reasonably priced. They have even made sure to personally open on a day they would have normally been closed (Super Bowl Sunday) so that I could purchase an extra sack of crawfish for my event. read more

Cheapest place around but half your crawfish are smashed or dead. My potatoes has huge pits in them from where they say too long before being boiled. Almost like they boiled rotten potatoes. I threw all of them away. The crawfish, what was edible, had an okay flavor but next to no kick. For every 2 I ate, I had to throw away one. Will not be back. read more

Love getting crawfish from here. When the boys are in town we always have to get crawfish here. Friendly helpful staff.

I WILL first say that the Bateau Brothers are very Friendly and know their seafood. they also know how to berl their crawfish and crabs. I also when I feel like taking the time and trouble to berl my own they had guided me in making my berl a success. but by far their berled crawfish were way good in fact at the price they charge me is cheaper for me to get them cooked than if i cooked them myself thank you read more

Some of the best crawfish around! BF carried home some 10lbs of crawfish the other night and what a glorious night it turned out to be. The one complaint I have and it's very possible it's not Bateau's fault is the boiled shrimp was overcooked. Now it could be because the shrimp had to wait to be eaten until we chowed down on the crawfish. I did not personally go to Bateau's so can't comment on the location but the crawfish, oh yeah, good stuff! and reasonable prices IMHO. 10lbs for $27 I'm thinking this will be our "go to" place for weekend chow downs on the back deck. read more

Fantastic!!!! Great flavor! What more can I say!? The guys were friendly and inside the store there is a selection of sauces, beer, and other foods to make a complete meal! read more

The men working here were friendly, however the boiled crawfish were very mediocre. I didn't care for the potatoes. I would try other crawfish around town before coming back here. read more

Gentlemen (maybe owner) was super friendly. Bought fish from them and was great quality and price was very good. We will definetly be back

Bateau's Seafood is the best seafood around. Me and the bf have been going there for a year and half now and they will always have our service. Everything I've ever had from there was delicious not to mention the workers there are super nice too ! read more

Stopped in and purchased two sacks of live crawfish to take out of town. Very clean establishment and friendly people. The crawfish were excellent. They were in a cooler for about 24 hours and we only had about 5 that were dead. They were very nice sized and also very clean. I definitely recommend Bateau's Seafood!!! read more

Perfect we purchased 20 lb sausage and mushrooms. It was delicious. It was the perfect spacing. And we loved every bit of it. Rouses crawfish was just too spicy. We Will be back!! read more

As I used to do everytime I came to Mandeville to see the family, I wouls stop and pick up 40 pounds of boiled crawfish along with corn, potatoes, and such. But this time, I found the place I had been going to went out of business. Thanks to Yelp, I found Bateau's just no0rth of I-12 on La 59. There was a line almost out the door. The interior was your standard seafood supplier but the smells were out of this world!! My daughter and I almost packed up the air and sold it as a cologne!! The folks were very friendly, the crawfish succulent and big, and the best part is that they will always have my business now. Thanks guys and gals, for the best crawfish deal in town. read more

This a a great place to get your seafood, the guys here are very friendly and honest. I would not get my crawfish from anyone else. Call them up and give them a try. I love local family businesses. You will not regret it. Probably the closest seafood market around. read more

I purchased live crawfish from here this Sunday 3/10/19, there were medium size crawfish and looked ready to eat. Upon washing we noticed that this 40lbs sack was full of spiders and what appeared to be a mole crickets. We washed and purged the crawfish several times. When we started picking threw the washed crawfish we noticed a couple of more insects in the sac. There was also about 3 lbs of dead crawfish and it appeared that several were crushed like the bad had been stepped on. This was a major turnoff!!!!!! read more

By far the worst live crawfish i have ever encountered. We bought a sack (35lbs) and 12lbs were dead i expect a few dead but this goes well beyond what is acceptable. Crawfish had discoloration on the knuckles of the shell which leads me to believe they were dead long enough for the chemical process to start. I will never return read more

Fresh and delicious fried shrimp salad We were on the road yesterday and stopped in. I ordered the shrimp salad which consisted of the freshest, lightest shrimp and shredded lettuce accompanied by a dressing that complemented the salad perfectly and enhanced the flavor of the seafood. It reminded me of the old fashioned, high quality food we used to get before chain restaurants and sulfites were invented. read more

Service is friendly, quick, and reliable. I drive from Ponchatoula, passing up closer markets, to get my live crawfish here. There is never any confusion or issues with pre-ordered sacks. They consistently provide good-sized clean bugs with the lowest percent of dead "throw-aways" compared to other markets. When I'm just feeding myself and not the neighborhood, their boiled bugs are well-seasoned and perfectly cooked every time. This is the only seafood market on the north shore where I have never gotten that "ripped-off" feeling and I've been to all of them several times. read more

TERRIBLE!!!! They will never have my business again or anyone else that I know....I'm spreading the word....and I actually would rate you with zero stars. read more

I have been ordering live crawfish by the sack from here for years and have always been satisfied, however, this past weekend Bateau's lost me and my family as customers. I ordered 3 sacks of crawfish on Monday to be picked up by Saturday for a party. I was told the order would be ready come Saturday morning. When I called Saturday morning to confirm my order I was told the shipment had not come in yet BUT they had my order ready and to come up and get them. I sent my Dad and when he got there to pick up the order he was told that they had made a mistake and didn't have my order. My Dad explained that we had this order placed for a week and had 50 people coming over in a few hours for a party, the owner basically got rude with my Dad and told him it's not his problem!! What TERRIBLE customer service!! It's one thing if the shipment didn't come in but don't tell us to come and get them when you don't really have them. I WILL NEVER go back to Bateau's again which stinks because I used to really like this place. read more
