(I know people go back way further than I do)
Around '04 in New Orleans, crawfish for $.49/lb.

$40 a sack about 15 years ago, and the sack was a true 40 lbs., not this 35 lb. they're pushing today.

same for me, right about .50 live
there used to be school kids hustling to earn money that i would buy 35lbs sacks from for $15. i used to get a sack every week to peel and freeze them. half i would eat on the spot with my dad.
saw a new sign yesterday for $2.00 live, give it another week and that will be down to $1.50 most likely.
i only buy already boiled now for years and if and only when its $1.99 boiled or i just dont get them. to me thats all they are worth or i dont need to buy them. lots of other food to eat

Back in the 80's I remember $0.29/lb by the end of the season, which was basically end of April if the temps stayed low. Not this June crap they pull these days.

about $10-15/40 pounds at the camp in the 80's

1998 in AP. Live $.49 lb for pond and $.59 from spillway. Boiled a sack every Sunday it was so cheap

I use to buy crawfish from a BAW that would hustle the crawfish Tony's rejected for having too many white crawfish. Sacks would be 40+ pounds for $15, the white ones eat just like the regular ones...
