Buying crabs in GI can be tricky at some times a year. There are times when the local seafood shops will have them, but times when they don't. Unless you call ahead and confirm availability on the day you plan to pick them up, buying live crabs is a dicey deal. I would recommend that you stop at the first place that says they have live crabs as you are headed south on LA 1. Once you pass Cut Off, you should start seeing some places, I think we've gotten the most reliable crabs in Golden Meadow. There are times of the year when you can't get crabs anywhere south of Leeville.
The bait shops don't carry crabs with any regularity.
