Crawfish are not cheap right now, unless you call $120.00 sacks cheap.

Every place in (around) BR is around $4lb right now. We boiled 2 sacks thursday and one yesterday. Very pleased with the sacks. Pretty sure we had spillway bugs yesterday

yea no way am I boiling crawfish right now, way to expensive. When I want them bad enough at this time of year I'll just go to Sammys and let them do all the work

I had some at Sammy's weekend before last. They were good.

I probably won't boil any until I can start catching them in nets

I'd rather boil crawfish than take a bitch out to some expensive dinner

Eta: and I boil so many bugs later in the year that the prices average out over the season

Not sure about live but Slidell Seafood(either location) had boiled for $3.80/lb over the weekend.

That's not bad at all after hearing some people say they were paying $5/lb boiled earlier in the week.

I suspect the price to rise a little for super bowl Sunday.. They usually do anyway

More than likely they will.

Only thing I hate about Slidell Seafood is that they're only open Wed-Sat (and Sun mornings during crawfish season)

If I remember correctly my buddy told me around 2.80ish, but this was at the camp Saturday night and I was pretty inebriated. I could be making that number up.

What are the distributors selling them for this week? We bought from a friend of a friend Thursday at $3lb. Just curious what the typical markup was from the distributor to the seafood shops... Everybody has to make their money yano
