Here in east Texas they are usually much cheaper when they come in, last year they were $2.49 highest, with some places having them at $1.99 before Mardi Gras. They dropped to below a buck a pound towards the end of April, then went back up. The cold/wet weather will increase supply in the near future though, as it should reduce the amount of people celebrating this past weekend and this week.

I got to test out my new homemade hillbilly cooker, it has a huge industrial burner, the main body is made from a 15" Ford truck wheel, it is very solid and sturdy and sits high enough that you do not have to bend over when adding and stirring. With the regulator turned up it will shoot three foot flames. I need to find a decent stainless pot now, looking for around 10 gallons with a bottom around 18" wide. The aluminum pot that I have has the bottom worn thin from years of use.

You can get a 80 qt for $180 on amazon. I had a 60 and a 50qt, but 80 really is the way to go on fish boils. I wanted a stainless one but settled for aluminum, which works fine, and was $100 less. When I wear it out I'll get one.

I bought my burner from Academy this weekend for 20$, new propane tank for 50$ at Walgreens.

I just need to find a bigger pot.. i have a pretty big one but when it comes to having a lot of crawfish with people over, it gets pretty annoying.

Under $3 isn't bad for this time of the season if it a mixed bag.

I like getting the selects when the prices come down. Nothing like having 10 crawfish to the pound.

I did a boil this weekend with my new burner and 80 quart pot, and can now use my 50 qt for veggies and shrimp only. I should be able to cook a whole bag at once. Took around 15 minutes to get 12 gallons of water boiling.

Crawfish is high right now.. we paid 2.79/lb at the our local joint.

it was over 81$ for us this weekend.

I've got to start calling around and line up about 100 pounds for the 1st weekend in April, hopefully the price drops by then

[stevo]

Coming back in season finally, even though they are currently $3.25 a pound live locally. We bought 15 pounds earlier for 'family' consumption.

Prices will drop after Fat Tuesday, start calling around this next week and see who has what for how much this coming weekend.
