Prices for Boiled Crawfish Drop Again in Shreveport – Who Has Best Deals?

Well, I had my first crawfish of the season on Easter weekend. To be honest, it was a free event sponsored by a friend of mine. The crawfish were supplied by Cooyons in Bossier and they were delicious. They were not too spicy, but they did have a good kick. I will say they were way better when they were hot out of the pot.

The reason I have not had any until this month is because the prices have been too high. But I can tell you we are starting to see price drops at many local spots. You can find boiled crawfish for $5 a pound at several of your favorite businesses around town. That includes Cooyons, Shavers and Rubba Boot.

I'll probably be crashing a couple of crawfish boils in the next few weeks. I know I'm planning to go to the one hosted by the North Shreveport Business Association on May 1. They always have great crawfish and shrimp at this event (I think it's already sold out).

You might even find me popping up at crawfish boils in some neighborhoods as we get to the time of year when the mudbugs are a pretty good size. I am gearing up for the Mudbug Madness Celebrity Crawfish Eating Contest at the end of May. I know I don't have a chance to win this. Some of those firefighters and police officers just swallow the shells. I'm not trying to compete with that (on orders of my doctors).
