 Crawfish Question
I figure you guys will know the answer to this. I am headed to Mississippi to do some fishing in a couple weeks (west central MS) and was there last year and saw many places that sold crawfish. Having never eaten them due to location/availability, (Northern IL) I have a few questions. -Do they sell them alive? -If so what is the best way to bring them back north (12-13 hours)? Ice? Water? -How many pounds of them would I need to feed 8 adults? -About how much will they cost a lb? -Are they even available this time of year?
Thanks

 Re: Crawfish Question
you could feed them with a 40# sack and put them in a icechest with a towel on top and ice on top of that

 Re: Crawfish Question
