last week they were 3.40 it think. Might have gone down now tho, their always changing. You can always get them from a fiesta or something but sometimes their good, more times than not theres a lot of dead ones.
which is why i was wanting to get them from a road side truck or small mom n pop shop in the bayous. i remember driving to and from ms in the summer MANY MANY years ago and there were trucks and shops along I-10 selling them live or already boiled. back then they were around .50c a pound live and .75c-$1.00 boiled. i understand 20+yrs later prices will be higher, but buying from a grocery store, naw, not for me. like you said, sometimes they are good and a lot of dead ones. in my area at the local heb, for boiled, they are $5 a pound and live is about $3.50-3.75 a pound.
and in addition to the road side shops/tcks, they usually have the rest of the fixins that go with craw fish, plus the shrimp and crabs. i may even get some fresh salmon and crabs from here in the nw and cook some of them up too.
