For some odd reason, practically all my friends here in the DC area originally
came from New Orleans. Our group regularly gets together for boils; two
weekends ago there were about 40 of us who went through 280 lbs. of
crawfish. Basically, my friends have the crawfish airfreighted up from NO
the night before the boil. I am not sure who they buy them from in NO, 
but it is easily arranged. We've had the crawfish shipped to each of the
three local airports - BWI is the most hassle-free.

If anyone is interested, I can find out who they order them from.

BTW - the total cost of the boil (280 lbs. of crawfish, shipping, keg of beer,
      corn, sausage, chips, jambalaya, coke, etc.) was on the order of $500. 
      From this you can estimate what the crawfish cost ... A $10 contribution
      per person attending the boil covered most of the costs.

PS - The $5.00/lb. figure that someone else mentioned is plain and simple
     robbery. Really quite amazing that anyone would pay that for crawfish ...
