BATON ROUGE - With a little more than a week before Easter, boiled crawfish prices are a far cry from where they were this time last year.

According to the WBRZ Crawfish Price Index, the average cost of boiled crawfish fell to $4.94 per pound at the capital area's favorite seafood spots. The price for live was down to $3.77 per pound.

It's a decent enough drop from last week's average, but local prices are still roughly a full dollar more expensive than they were around this same time last year. 

The cheapest boiled crawfish you'll find on the index this week is $3.99 per pound. Live crawdads are going for as low as $3.
