Unfortunately, the Quarter doesn%26#39;t serve the best crawfish in the city. But, there are still some decent places to grab a couple pounds of boiled crawfish: Deanie%26#39;s on Iberville is pretty good and I think Felix%26#39;s (on Iberville) is also serving them.

Really the best deal is to take the streetcar out of the quarter( French Market), Catch the St, Charkes line out to the Garden District to 6 th street and St. Charles. Walk the 6 blocks to Magazine street, Catch a few shops and go to New orleans Saefood company. Catch a few pounds of bugs @ $ 2.29 a pound) Then go across the street to the Bulldog Bar ( 50 tap beers from around the world). They allow you to eat the crawfish there as long as you buy a beer. Then walk aloing Magazine street and catch a few Antique shops.

I%26#39;m not an expert but anytime I%26#39;ve been they have crawfish at the French market.

Markp: When did you get crawfish for 2.29 a pound. We are paying 3.99 a pound in north Louisiana. If it%26#39;s only 2.29 in New Orleans I will be getting some next weekend while I am there. I just can%26#39;t bring myself to pay 3.99 a pound.

By the end of the month/April, it%26#39;ll come down to less than $2 per pound at places. It was $1.89/lb at Rouse%26#39;s last year at that time.

When ordering crawfish by the pound, what is a good amount to get for two people?

It depends on how hungry you are. For me (20-something female), I%26#39;ll order at least 1.5-2 lbs per sitting. The crawfish meat is in the tail, so you have to keep that in mind that there%26#39;s not much meat per crawfish.

It depends if crawfish is all you will be eating. When we have crawfish (two people) with nothing else I ussually get ten pounds. It really takes a lot to fill you up. And don%26#39;t wear any light colored clothing as you may get really messy.
