The Lenten season is underway, and as the observant abstain from red meat and chicken, seafood prices are on the rise.

The current price of crawfish is about $3.35 a pound for live and $4.35 a pound for boiled.

Prices of shrimp and fish are being driven up by factors such as the labor shortage, inflation, and a storm-battered fishing industry.

Between the demand and the cost, crabs and oysters are particularly hard to get ahold of.
