The worst thing to happen to crawfish prices is when Texans started eating them.

Blame the coonass dealers, not the addicts.

I mean, there have been cajuns in SE Texas for a long time.
But the crawfish craze of the last 15 years or so is crazy. Every bar in town started trying to sell them, new places started popping up out in the boonies just focused on crawfish, and then the whole Viet-Crawfish thing in Houston created a new level of demand and trendy hype that had never existed before.
A different Asian seafood boil near my house closed last year. The idea of opening a full service brick & mortar restaurant to serve seasonal food with massive supply fluctuations just seems stupid.

And Mississippi ‘ ians. Ruined it all.
Although this was a very long time ago. 55 years ago. We would pull up to the grocery store in our little flatboats and buy a 2 gallon pail of boiled crawfish for $1.15. Potato’s, corn and sausage cost and extra $.25.
That was our fast food. Tie off under an oak tree and feast. Very good times

Maybe, just maybe…enough Louisiana residents were tired of living in the shithole that they moved to a 10x better state next door and brought their love of crawfish with them? Thus, creating a market for crawfish.

It’s sad Louisiana hasn’t realized the gold mine they are sitting on and increased production.
Demand skyrockets and Louisiana natives complain instead of getting rich.
