Not sure if serious? There seems to be a floor that crawfish will not fall below. I would be thrilled to see $0.99 crawfish this year. But like every year, there will be a "legitimate" reason for prices to remain high. (Too much water, not enough water, too hot, too cold, moon phase out of sync with molting cycle, fuel prices too high); I am sure there are other reasons I am overlooking.

I have heard the "crawfish are going to be large and cheap" story too often in the past to get excited about it anymore. I just pay my $2.39 per pound and remember the good old days when $0.99 crawfish were considered expensive.

LOL the wholesale price has dropped over 50% in less than 3 weeks. Peelers are like 65 cents right now and after lent mediums will be a $1 or less.

Last year the price was $1 wholesale before lent even started

So next time you want to blame the farmers for you paying high prices know what you are talking about.

Like the fact that it has yet to hit a price so high that there will be unpurchased crawfish.

We can whine and complain about crawfish prices all we want, but as long as establishments are selling out of their sacks and their boiled ones every weekend, we shouldn’t expect those places to just voluntarily drop their prices out of some goodwill.

Crawfish cost what the market will sustain. I understand the overhead involved in bringing a product to the consumer. That doesn't mean I have to like it. In my opinion, the farmer is the one person in the crawfish supply chain that gets screwed over the most.

And: Tell me where to find these $0.79 pound crawfish you are alluding to, and I will be there. Please don't say "Crawfish App".

If crawfish farmers would stop trying to make money off of our God-given right to eat crawfish every Friday in Lent then everything would work out well. I think every damn one of them should spend all day every Saturday in Confession for their unChrist-like practices. Give em to the people.

The meme is a bit out dated. I love a good crawfish cartel joke but reality is iif they can sell crawfish for 2 in Houston, why sell it for 1 in Louisiana.

Blame all the morons in Houston thst buy shitty crawfish from just about every bar.
