Seafood Boil Help - Raw or Cooked?

So I'm hosting my first seafood boil, but I'm having trouble finding some of the ingredients. Crab legs and crawfish I'm only finding as pre-cooked, does raw exist or is there a reason they are only sold precooked? I've tried regular grocery stores, but also I have an LLC and went to one of those warehouses for food businesses where they also only had pre-cooked options.

Is this normal? Is it ok to use pre-cooked or am I going to turn it into gross rubber for being too cooked trying to get the flavor?

Where do you all get ingredients from? I have a party coming up and I'm glad I started looking now so I'm not going crazy the night before!

Please send help! This is my first boil! Thank you!
