Just wait until mid-March… everything will be fine. I never eat crawfish in February. April is really peak season.

Crawfish farmers should find another source of income. I refuse to pay these ridiculous prices.

Of the estimated 1500 or so crawfish farmers in LA, very few (you could probably count the number on both hands) do it as a sole source of income - vast majority farm other other crops (rice, soybeans, sugarcane…..) or have other full-time occupations.

I heard today that there are crawfish down in the Everglades, but some invasive species of eel looking thing is gobbling most of them up. I never heard of FL crwfish before.

There over 400 species of crawfishes in North America (600 + world-wide) - fewer than dozen are large enough in size and available in sufficient volume to exploit to have any commercial value.

(Just throwing some tidbits in here that people might be interested in )

Exactly….anyone trying to eat crawfish in the winter is destined to be disappointed, IMO. Too expensive and too small. Hot weather is crawfish eating time!
