According to the USDA, SNAP benefits, accessed via an EBT card, can be used to purchase eligible foods for the household. This includes certain seafood, and an exception to the rule against purchasing live animals allows you to buy live crawfish with EBT, though some conditions and limitations apply.

A single serving of peeled crawfish meat contains just 70 calories, but the total amount dramatically increases depending on how a Louisiana style crawfish boil is prepared and what sides are included. The total calorie count is influenced by added ingredients like potatoes, corn, sausage, and especially the generous use of butter.
