Rain replenishes Louisiana crawfish supply, lowering prices as drought alleviated

Whether referred to as crayfish, crawdads or crawfish, these little lobster lookalikes are currently in the spotlight.

This drop is attributed to the recent rain in Louisiana, which has alleviated a prolonged period of drought. Nonetheless, is the supply meeting the demand?
