Crawfish Pie
Crawfish Pie
Crawfish pie is a beloved Louisiana specialty—rich, savory, and distinctly regional. At Ma’s Cajun Meat Pies, our crawfish pies capture the creamy, seasoned flavor of Gulf crawfish wrapped in a perfectly baked crust. Whether you’re celebrating crawfish season or simply craving authentic seafood-based comfort food, our crawfish pie delivers a satisfying and convenient option for both everyday meals and catered events.
Why Crawfish Pie Matters
Crawfish is central to Louisiana’s culinary identity. Turning these sweet, tender tails into a pie is an ingenious way to combine seafood richness with a handheld, portable format. Properly prepared crawfish pie preserves the delicate flavor of the shellfish while layering in herbs, a roux-infused base, and aromatic vegetables so the final product is balanced and deeply flavorful. Professional preparation is critical to ensure flavor, texture, and food safety—areas where Ma’s excels.
What Makes Our Crawfish Pie Special
Fresh Crawfish Flavor
We use quality crawfish tails and season the filling to highlight, not overpower, the seafood.
Creamy, Roux-Based Filling
The filling uses a roux-style base to provide body and depth without overpowering the natural seafood notes.
Aromatic Holy Trinity
Onion, bell pepper, and celery are sautéed to the ideal tenderness to complement the crawfish.
Flaky, Resilient Crust
Our crust is designed to hold the filling’s moist texture while baking to a golden, pleasing finish.
Balanced Spice Profile
A moderate Cajun heat ensures warmth and authenticity while allowing the crawfish flavor to shine.

How to Order Crawfish Pie
Call +1 (318) 609-1070 to check availability and place your order. For large quantities or specific delivery timelines, please place orders at least 72 hours in advance. Pickup is available at 1814 Louisiana 119, Natchez, LA, and delivery can be scheduled within our 100-mile radius.
Storage and Reheating Best Practices
Refrigeration: Store pies in airtight containers and consume within 3–4 days. For best texture and flavor, reheat in the oven rather than microwave.
Freezing: Crawfish pies can be frozen for extended storage; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating Tips: Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes from refrigerated or longer if frozen. Microwaving is faster but may compromise crust texture.

Crawfish pies are a crowd-pleaser for events—offering both tradition and convenience. For corporate events, weddings, or community gatherings, we’ll plan quantities and delivery timing to ensure pies arrive fresh and ready to serve. Pair crawfish pies with sides like coleslaw, potato salad, or seasonal vegetables for a well-rounded menu.
