Mmmm, can't wait until we start seeing roadside vendors. I think the season started a little early this year, but you're still on the very front of when good prices and sizes start appearing.

Numi, that's not a terrible price considering overnight shipping is included, they are live, and mix is included.

I think my nephew and a few of his buddies would do this every so often, they had a crew that would go to BBQ contests,

he loved to go to NOLA, and would show up for a "boil"

And yes, Anth, most would be alive when you got 'em, but you would have to have a holding "pond" ready.........."kiddie pool" would work, LOL

How many are you looking for Busa?

I would guess right now they would sell for around $4 per pound by the sack. The price drops after the Superbowl and really drops after Easter.

A neighbor of mine has put out a crawfish and seafood boil mix that is really good.

The Youtube videos of the product launch are great as well

If you only want a dozen or so, I'll see what I can do. I haven't seen any of my normal guys open yet. Give me a few weeks and I'm sure I can score you some.

If you're only wanting a handful, you should be able to find them in a drainage ditch or small creek. Otherwise, got to the Fishing Herf. If Blu won't give you a handful from the sacks, I'll bring you some.

Otherwise to live ship from here would prolly cost more than what you could buy them for from the pet store.

Catch them yo-self. Put a minnow trap in a river or pond somewhere local with some hot dogs in it. Wham! Crawfish.

You don't eat this bait do you? Crawfish=bait, Lobster=yum!

We don't eat the crawfish around here, really. We do use them for bait though. So, I have never had one to eat.

Clam and lobster boils are what's found around here. And if an old Portagee is running the show, don't miss it!

How much actual food is in one of those crawfish? I don't bother with the little legs on the lobsters either, kind of just a tease.
