I buy with the seasons. I eat them after Easter and they always are bigger and cheaper.

That’s because we are getting Basin crawfish by Easter. Almost everything now is rice field.

Yes Laffy with the Seasoning in the ice chest is how you cook crawfish

You must not know many people that actually know how to boil crawfish. And handful of people that put seasoning in the ice chest does not mean everyone else does it.

You probably eat boiled seafood with those little proctologist’s rubber gloves, don’t you.

Boiling the crawfish, then taking it out and dumping a bunch of seasoning on top of it is not how you cook crawfish. Every place in North LA boils crawfish like that for some reason

I took my wife to Crawfish City in West Monroe and they were good. They use liquid crab boil which I'm not too fond of but I can say the taste was great. No seasoning on the outside. They weren't big but they were good.

Too wet, gas prices too low, not cold enough = High crawfish prices

I’m aware of that Judge and I’ve been eating boiled crawfish since before pond crawfish were available hence the comment. I remember buying them for $.10 a pound at Camp Bayou Corne and there wasn’t a restaurant in Baton Rouge that sold them. Only a few people were even doing backyard boils. That’s why I wait. When they play out at end of June or so I eat crabs which are then just starting to come in. Then when they play out in the Fall I eat oysters.

Don’t get me wrong I eat them now on occasion but I’m a creature of habit and enjoy the seasons. I only eat tomatoes and corn when they are fresh in season. I just do without.

And I’ll edit to add: if I go somewhere and they have a bunch of dry seasoning on the outside I eat a sandwich. That’s just not the way to boil or eat them.

Spanish moss in my hand, turn me into Crawfish Man!!

I paid 3.29 live last weekend. They were small. Not worth it

AB Henderson started the trend about 30 years ago. It was WAY to much seasoning on the outside. Not sure if they still are in crawfish biz.

I am a proud steamer/duster.
