Anyone know of a place in Springfield where you can buy or at least order whole fresh octopus?

Asian market on Campbell is probably your best bet

All above are good answers. I came to trade knowledge. I'd recommend Asian Market also. Anybody know where ti buy crawfish meat?

Look up Bayou Bandit on Facebook- he makes runs down to the coast weekly most of the time and sells fresh. Crawfish is fresh January to May with him. The others mentioned sell pre packaged frozen, hit and miss from my experience.

Crawfish are actually in Walmart here! Check the frozen fish section

Whhhhhaaat? No way. I've actually looked at 2 walmarts and only found crab.

Try the one on Independence and the little neighborhood market in Republic/golden (they hide the fish section in the back corner). I’ve seen crawfish at both

I think the Asian markets in the city have frozen octopus and squid. Not sure if any have fresh ones though.

Hyvee has had fresh octopus on occasion.
