Do you folks think it would be worth the time (sell out) to haul 40-50 sacks of live crawfish to sell in NOLA or BR on Saturdays and Sundays?
This weekend for example, say the price would be $3.10/lb sell by the sack.

You want to pre-sell them, you don't want to be sitting in a parking lot trying to move crawfish.

Stick to pre orders, you can lose money fast if you have dying crawfish on your way home at today’s prices

You know you can see the size of them in sack right? You can always ask for larger.

Not many places are open on Sunday in NOLA and JP

You can set up and sellout quick if you can get some word out

It was a farmer, he had 6 sacks left from the day and this was less than $3 per lb where they're getting closer to $4 and I had a birthday party I was boiling for. I could have asked for larger all day long and he wouldn't have had them. The week before last his ponds nearly froze over.

If you’re near a place of business that sells live crawfish expect them to report you
