re: LA Crawfish Tails?

Its hard for a processor to make money selling crawfish tail meat @ $9.99#..... doesn't it take 9-10 pounds to get a pound of meat? If so that would mean the processor would almost have to have their own ponds. Or pay fisherman less than .75$# for their catch?

I could buy peelers for $10 a sack a few weeks ago, don't know what they're going for now.
you can expect about a 17% yield with that
The plant I use charges about 3.50 a pound to peel them

A couple weekends ago I peeled 21 pounds of med-large crawfish and ended up with 3.5 pounds of tail meat, so 6# of med/large crawfish = 1# of tail meat. Also interesting, a quart ziploc bag stuffed full with crawfish tails is around 2.5# FWIW.
ETA: 1# crawfish tails in Shreveport is running $13.99 at Brookshire's. Not sure about other places.
