If the catch is low enough to where the extra costs of operating a restaurant aren't worth it, absolutely. Why wouldn't they? How low that needs to be, I have no idea.
you sure think you know a lot about the crawfish industry huh?
where are they sending them to? all those crawfish places in Texas are open? how's the supply in Nola?

Take 1/3 away on a normal year and prices still will be higher. Take 1/3 away on a year where we’re catching less than 10% of what we were catching last year at this time, and prices are going to be magnified even more.

Yeah my grandpa had a well at his ponds, he didn’t plant rice or at least didn’t harvest if he did. So just never understood the drought reasoning, wish he was still alive.

High demand maybe? Like maybe America has discovered how tasty those mudbugs are. My favorite crawfish dish? Etoufee.

I honestly don't understand why it is so difficult, seemingly impossible, for so many people to understand this.
