Eh, I went to the Crawfish Festival today and I'd have to say it's kind of a rip off. They claim you'll get 2 1/2 to 3lbs of crawfish. So 4 of us went and we decided to only get 3 crawfish meals and 1 regular entrance- as 2 lbs of crawfish is sufficient for 1 person (or 3 for me, crawfish lover). I was the first in line and they measured the scoop...at 1 lb. ONE FRIGGING POUND. That's barely enough for one person. $25 for 1 lb, not worth it. My wife and I didn't say anything because we didn't want to let our friends realize they just got robbed, but both of us were looking at each other with the WTF look. At least they enjoyed it, but we were all hungry. There's a really really really excellent out of place Cajun Crawfish at $6.99 a pound in a little vietnamese restaurant in Little Saigon. I stumbled onto it and I get 3lbs each time I'm in the area. It's on Beach Blvd and Manhattan, on the corner. No idea what it's called as it's in vietnamese but they did have (not sure if it's still up, didn't notice it after a while) that says "Cajun Crawfish $5.99 but it's really 6.99. Or $6 if you go there enough :)
