2024: A Year to Forget

Last year’s crawfish season was like a bad dream come true for both farmers and seafood lovers. Severe weather conditions led to a drastic decrease in crop yields, pushing prices to record highs that left many fans of this beloved delicacy feeling rather disappointed. Did someone say overpriced crawfish? Yes, indeed! The prices remained high throughout the season, leaving many folks longing for that perfect boil.

Experts are predicting a strong supply of crawfish, which means you can expect many of your favorite dishes to make a delightful return to the table. Some vendors have already started selling boiled crawfish at the start of the year, and they are ready to keep serving up joy all around.
