I like crawfish better because of the fat in the pound of crawfish tails which gives it a great flavor. I have an easy way of making a dish different from etouffee. I sautee the crawfish with a stick of butter and add cooked angel hair pasta. Fast, easy and tasty. Crawfish tails have shot up in price here also.

I don't disagree that crawfish are the best, only that I can't find any that aren't chinese.

LouisianaLiving sells them in 1# frozen packs. Min. internet order is 5# for $60 with 14 bucks for shipping. Kinda expensive but the price per pound is not that bad. I paid $13 for the last pound I got in Baton Rouge. I also think that this is at the tail end of the season.

I paid $16 for a pound here, but you expect some inflation, the further away you are.  That isn't a bad price.  I am bookmarking it. 

Thanks!

Cat fish are bottom feeders : not all breeds...some eat only other live fish.....and they get big and make a great stew, fry, whatever.

Farm raised (raised in a basket suspended in a pool filled with well water) catfish are grain fed and they're pretty good. Could be the answer to a better meat source. The feed conversion ratio for a good flock of turkeys is 2.35 lbs. of feed for every pound of turkey. The feed conversion ratio for Cat fish is 1.35 pounds of feed per pound of cat fish.

I will not buy seafood or meat from Walleymart. Too many of those products comes from overseas.

I buy frozen swai that is farmed in Vietnam. It's about $3 a pound.

My grocer also carries steelhead trout farmed in Chile, about $5 a pound. It's awesome.

You don't like it? Then you go shopping for me, and  pay for my friggin' groceries.  :fuelfire:

I'm very careful of that. And I prefer to go deeper with it. Since I was born and raised in MS, I buy MS grown catfish and MS gulf seafood. I usually buy both from a guy who travels weekly to get both. He only sales on Thursdays and Fridays, but if we are eating any kind of fish or seafood, that is where I go.
