Crawfish Prices Drop Just in Time for Spring Celebrations

Great news for Mudbug lovers! Crawfish prices are taking a pretty good dip as we move into the spring season. We will see prices fall even more as we get close to Easter and the month of May.

The best price I found was at Cooyon’s in Bossier with a price of $5.99 a pound!

You can expect the best prices of the crawfish season as we get closer to Memorial Day and our big Mudbug Madness Festival.

Who has the best crawfish prices in Shreveport? I am beginning to think about grabbing some since the prices are dropping. The size of the bugs are better.

What Does the Crawfish Season for 2026 Look Like

Crawfish are big business in Louisiana.

But heat and a drought in 2024 hit hard. The crawfish farmers are hoping to see a bounce back again this year. The warmer weather we have been experiencing should be a big help.
