Every year we hear that price drops after lent. Never does.
And Easter is late as hell this year. I don't think it's looking too good for us. Sure, people will still buy them but I'm not going to boil every few weeks this year.

I know the farmers dont because every fricking year it is either too hot, too cold, to much rain, not enough rain. Every excuse in the book to keep prices sky high Crawfish Cartel- See OPEC for instructions on how to manipulate price.
This topic comes up multiple times during the crawfish season every year.

I'm not a crawfish farmer/fisherman, so I don't know what their yields look like on a year to year basis. However I can understand the avg. person not believeing their complaints about how "this is going to be a bad year" when seemingly every year is a "bad year"

Im struggling to remember when the last really good year was and when the corresponding prices were low enough to really make a bumper crop.
The Bordelaise think crawfish farmers hide the ball.

Yup it's all a big fix to drive prices....

Problem is the supply of crawfish is relatively fixed and the demand has soared over the last 20 years. We are sending crawfish to Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida daily. Add to that the fact that we can ship them live anywhere in the country now and you get high prices.

Last year was pretty good. I could find crawfish for around a $1/lb. We had another good year in 2010. Crawfish was pretty cheap then also.
We will never see crawfish getting to historic low prices with the increased demand from other states (like yellowfin said) and also inflation over the last 20-25 years.

Plant is up to 4.25 as of today per my supplier.

yea i thought last year was good too as i was getting good crawfish from HEB for 99 cents/lb, i was thinking the demand was low until fin mentioned HEB was just losing their arse
met a supply chain dude at HEB over the summer and he said HEB was trying real hard to gain loyalty from ex-Louisiana residents in Texas since there are so many now living in Texas and that this may be their way to build up a rep to start opening HEB's in LA
found it pretty interesting
