Live crawfish split..

[pervis]

Anyone or ones want to split a sack of crawfish? I cant justify the 9$ a pound at restaurants.... that being said, I drive thru Louisiana once a week for work. I could pick up a sack and get them split up and to you on a Wednesday. We drive thru there Tues afternoon and I'm off on Wednesday. Wish it were closer to the weekend, but it is what it is. I called the wholesaler last week. They're running 3$ a lb live. The catch is, I have to buy a 30 to 35lb sac. I'd only keep about 10 lbs for myself.

Interested for sure! Are you doing this all season or just a one time deal?

[pervis]

Just once prob. Maybe a few times depending on if the prices stay so high at restaurants. I just cant eat 30 lbs between me my wife and kids.

I'd be picking em up in Alexandria la.

May not be that expensive to eat some in Aleck.

My wife wants some, so do I. I truck cross country for a living, I can stop on my way back home and get a sack, just looking for another person or 2 to split it with.

It'd be a lot cooler if you were rolling through Houston.

Several places in Southeast Texas are at $2.75 per pound already for live. Boiled is still $7-8 per pound in the restaurants but boil and go spots are $5 for 10# or more, $5.50 for less than 10#.

Prices outside of restaurants are falling every couple of weeks.

If your ever in Texas City stop at Boyds at the base of the dyke, they are $4.99 boiled now and will be a little cheaper in a month when crawfish season really kicks off.

Our last order was 4.00 a pound, the week before they were 3.25, it is a supply and demand deal, we have never bought them for less than 3.00, we usually buy 120 lbs at a time and can get them delivered daily.

Curious how restaurants establish "market price" vs what they can be bought for live?
Crawfish, crab legs, etc
I understand associated cost to get them there and cook but is market price an average of what others are getting or how is that determined?
Since you own a couple of restaurants I figure you can shed some light on this
