central tx, between austin and waco, closer to waco. I'm planning a steak, crab, shrimp and crawfish boil/grilling with an old army buddy down around the houston way, probably at the airport he has his heli stored at. |

getting them local sure would be a cheaper bill than possibly flying into south la from houston. it would make for some very very expensive crawfish with the heli rate at $500 an hour.

just give them a call a little ahead of time in case their running low, they'll hold you a sack or 2. The sacks usually weigh around 30-35 lbs.

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. |

I like them, they usually get pretty packed this time of year in the afternoons and evenings. They sell them boiled too.

You can get them reasonable at HEB in Waco. Call their meat market and order.

$3.50-3.75 a pound live at the heb in temple. if i can get them closer to houston, the better, since the boil will be down there and I'm really just wanting to do a x-country flt into south la. that should finish out the last few hrs i need to get my pic endorsement for the r-44. plus those at heb aren't of the best size, or at least last yrs crop wasn't of any speakable size. you would spend more time peeling than eating. i enjoy sucking head and eating a$$ as much as the next mud bug lover, but if i have to really work fir it, ill stick to cracking skulls and sucking fingers of the crabs. |
