Your whole post deserves no credit or argument because prices aren’t cheaper. Post multiple explicit evidence of it then I’ll velieve you. Right now you have as much credit as me saying gas is $5 a gallon.

Can I not pay 6 bucks a pound for boiled crawfish? I’d gladly pay half that. But I’m not going out of my way to pay 6 bucks a pound.

I bet you are one of the dumb shits that believe the farmer controls the price, huh?

Some of you people are too damn stupid for your own good. The restaurants and processors control the price, not the farmers. Hell, the farmers are being told not to fish right now because restaurants aren't buying. That's like telling s rice farmer not to harvest his crop. The farmer spent the money, took all the risk, now his buyers aren't there.

All OP is suggesting is to go find a crawfish farmer and buy some damn crawfish. Yeah, as a buyer you have the demand, but don't be a dick and offer the guy $.25/lb.

But now is the time to get some crawfish at a cheaper price while supporting a farmer by buying directly from him, not through a distributor or restaurant. Hell, find out what he was getting from them--I guarantee you it's alot less than what you were paying in a restaurant or to buy them live from a store.

Byproduct of rice. I remember when crawfish was $10-20 a sack.

.99 cents a pound is plenty for live crawfish. I hate how overpriced they have become. Years ago they used the excuse of high gas was which caused bait to get high. Gas prices dropped and the crawfish didn’t because dumbasses continued to pay those outrageous prices.

Not kicking a man when he is down but maybe this will bring those guys back down to reality and offer crawfish at a respectable price.

Restaurants only use chinese crawfish anyway.

Only locals buy LA, TX and GA crawfish. I call BS.

Again, do you realize it's not the farmer that sets the price?

Give me one single example of an agricultural commodity where the farmer dictates the price and not the middle man or the consumer?

The majority of crawfish farmers are selling to processors and restaurants--not direct to consumer--and it is the middle man that sets the price and tells the farmer when to run the traps and when to park the boat.
