We boiled crawfish on Saturday.

$2.09 a pound live.

The price will be dropping now, it always does after Easter.

What do you think it would take to get me about 50 pounds to Boise?

Also is that enough to feed about 30 people?



And of course I'm jealous...

I would have to check around, a sack is around 35-40 pounds. The shipping will be big.

Deanies Seafood would be my best recommendation.

Ummm no, we had a 37 pound sack for Leon, my sister, two friends and myself.

Leon's rule of thumb is 10 pounds per person. Of course we are eating fools. If you had potatoes, corn, mushrooms, smoked sausage, garlic, etc, then you can get away with less.

Ya you can get away with having that as a main course. I usually only go for about 2 pounds a head but was trying to be cheap. But about three sacks then if we're meeting in the middle on weight?

That sounds about right.

Looks like a 35 pound sack is running around $70.00, not sure what the shipping would be though. Shipping looks to be about $200.00

Yeah, it is a bit steep. Then when you add the seasoning, salt, etc, it will be way out there.

I have a friend in Denham Springs, right outside of Baton Rouge, and they were going for $3.49 a pound live this past week end.

It's a great price, we looked at them last year and they were 5.79 plus shipping.


Oil spill really jacked the prices up I guess.

Crawfish are fresh water, so the oil spill probably jacked the price because harvesters were working on the spill.

At the start of the season this year, they were $4+ a pound. No rain, now we have had some good rain and the price dropped.

Leon is thinking about going into the WMA and catching some, not me, I don't handle snakes well.

Just grab some stray cats and load em in the boat. They'll either ward em off or be used as food instead of you wink

He has nets he throws out with floats attached. Sometimes he has to walk into the marsh a bit to get to them.

I love to go crabbing, that can be done from the seawall or the boat.
