Louisiana crawfish prices rise 25 cents to $7.56 per pound ahead of Easter due to extreme drought and lower supply.
Crawfish prices in Louisiana have risen slightly ahead of Easter weekend, averaging $7.56 per pound, a 25 cent increase from St. Patrick's Day weekend's $7.35 average. The increased prices can be attributed to Louisiana's extreme drought causing base prices for live crawfish to nearly double compared to last year's cost of $2.59 per pound. Easter is typically the busiest weekend of the season, with supply lower than usual.
