I think it is season in the south cuz I be seeing my southern cousins are already having their crawfish boils before the mardi gras fat tuesday festivity. 

Think it is $30 per 5 gallons bucket here in sacramento street vendors.  They catches them in them rice fields by sac airport.  I used to catch them there by the dirty truck load during September rice peak season.   Pioneer days I tell ya.  Everything loses its flavors as the time goes by.

$30 per 5 gallon bucket is much better than what I got in the 80s...
