Here's Why Crawfish Prices are So High in Terrebonne and Lafourche

Tim Angelette of Seafood Outlet in Thibodaux says he has never seen crawfish prices this high.
The combination of the late hurricanes devastating the western part of the state – home to lots of crawfish farms – and a few days of temperatures in the 30s has the price of mudbugs locally anywhere from $4 to $4.50 a pound live and $6.50 to $8.50 a pound boiled.
