right now at honey b ham in LC, they are charging $8/lbs and there are 25 cars in line at all times from before they open until close. Its nuts.

I know a bunch of places IN LC got hurt from the hurricanes and are still closed but the ones that are open are stupid busy. Beauxdins is packed every damn day right now.

It literally was just a couple months ago when I saw a news segment with crawfishermen saying that this year's season could be the LOWEST in decades.

Crawfishermen are the fricking worst. frick their corrupt asses.

I always laugh when I see people post crawfish on IG.



I have a bunch of female friends on social media that post shite along the lines of "ERMEGAWD, SHE WANTS CRAWFISH NOT CHOCOLATES FOR VALENTINES".

We get it, Becky, you like crawfish...just like everyone else. Way to express your individuality.

Actually crabbers are the worst...then oystermen, then shrimpers and crawfishermen are at the top of the food chain.

Impress?

No.

Do I feel slightly jealous that some baw is getting to work a pot and drink beer while I'm in the office?

Yes.

90% of the people eating crawfish right now are doing it solely to post on social media to try and look cool that they are already eating crawfish.



My buddy's wife is an 'influencer' who has to be the first each year to eat crawfish, hang Mardi Gras beads, and attend local festivals so she can prove to everyone how much of a Louisianan she is. She also couldn't find her way out of St Tammany if paid her to.

I generally don't even attempt to buy crawfish until mid-Feb at the earliest. If I can get away with decent prices for Mardi Gras Day, I'm happy.
