Most crawfish farmers havent gotten their labor in yet; most get theirs in right after the first of the year so you should see a larger supply after Jan 1.

does show to have crawfish right now... $6.99/lb



Anybody that pays that much for crawfish is an idiot. A lb. of crawfish yields about 2 oz. of tail meat at best, so it takes about 8 lbs. of boiled crawfish to get close to 1 lb. of tail meat. That tail meat at that price is around $56 a lb.

I'd buy Wagu beef before I buy crawfish in enough quantity to fill me.

Oyster prices are cheaper than I have seen in several years.

I remember 39 cents a pound around 1995


94 was the best season I've ever seen. Hurricane Andrew killed all the fish.

Best price ever was way back in 1970, when as a college student, Acadiana farmers were charging 25-cents per pound live or you could go catch them yourself for 10-cents a pound.

Came to about $5 a sack but we were nearly too damn drunk to boil them.

It stayed around 50-cents a pound through the 80s.

Living so far from crawfish country, you’d be surprised what we will pay. And it’s worth it.

I was looking through my phone the other day and came across a picture of me eating crawfish in mid December 2 years ago.
