Lee Lee's Market on Dobson and Warner.
Though I'm not sure how seasonal they might be, you might want to call to verify, but I've seen them there on several occasions. You'll flip out when you see this place, they have a meat section that is probably 6-7 times any other place I've been in the valley. Caters to the international market, heavily weighted on the Asian side, but stuff from ALL over the world. Live fish tanks, live crab, 30+ varieties of "non-frozen" fish, every part of a cow, pig and goat you can think of...I mean where else can you buy pig uterus by the pound? :thowupguy
Anyway...check them out.

Oh gawd, keep me out of a place like that if I have a checkbook in hand...
Know if they have a branch in Tucson?
Yes! There is now a Lee Lee's at Orange Grove and La Cholla. 
the gulf coast crawfish season doesn't really start until early march
but who knows maybe they can get some chinese imports...

Cool thanks and yep, they got 'em..
Worth the bother if they are frozen?
the problem with frozen is that they're more than likely end
of season mudbugs which means really tough shells and IMHO
inferior taste....
...but then again i'm a snob
My experience is that frozen are tails only - try this Crawfish | Delivered Live From Louisiana | Cajun Grocer - out of season now but coming soon
The ones at Lee Lee are probably from Vietnam. That's where a lot of frozen ones come from.
I know folks who have used Cajun Grocer, with mixed success. The batch they ordered arrived mostly dead. But they did send another batch. Unfortunately, it was too late for the event.
