Nah that's wholesale, don't know what they'll mark them up retail
If I had to guess, you can expect to pay $.75+ over wholesale for retail.

They are probably the largest crawfish retailer in the state so I'm sure they are getting better prices than most.
Restaurant Depot (where I worked as seafood manager for close to a year) just gives their crawfish away to get people in the door. I've seen them work on $.05-$.10/lb before. They do buy in volume so they also get pretty good prices.

Do they procure from the same supplier normally? Pond or spillway?

When I was there, they were buying from a few different distributors. Pond and wild. Whatever the distributors could get. They would buy 50-200 sacks a day depending on demand. Early on in the season they were always short just like everyone else.
Not sure who they are using now. They can be difficult for vendors to deal with from my experiences there. They can be demanding.
