Who has the best crawfish on the MS Coast? Vote now in final round of our bracket!

Everyone has their own way of boiling crawfish: some like it spicy, some like the boil filled with veggies and sausage and others like their crawfish dipped in a sauce.

From traditional fare to Viet-cajun seafood specialties, it’s no secret that restaurants in the Gulfport-Biloxi metro have some of the best of the boiled crawfish in the Deep South.

But we’re on a mission to find the best of the best in South Mississippi.

It’s time to vote in the final round of the second annual Sun Herald Crawfish Bracket. You helped pick 24 of the best restaurants for crawfish, and more than 125,000 votes decided the tasty 16 and gnarly nine and fabulous four.

Now there are just two restaurants left in the final round, and both are in Gulfport. Claw Daddy’s and Blazin’ Cajun beat out Killer Crab in Gautier and The Ole Biloxi Filin’ Station in the semifinals. One of the finalists will take home the crown next week.

In the final round of voting, which is open now, you’ll pick the winner. This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like by simply refreshing the page.

Voting in round four ends at 12 p.m. on Thursday April 13, 2023.

Here are the Top 2 restaurants:

  • Claw Daddy’s, Gulfport
  • Blazin’ Cajun, Gulfport
