Seafood prices can vary wildly from state to state, city to city, and as all Louisianans know, even block to block. A New Orleans entrepreneur has designed an app that puts the seafood prices of competing retailers at the tip of your fingers, introducing The Seafood Locator App.

No more calling around to every store, no more car hops from neighborhood to neighborhood when the stores don't answer their phones, either. Sheldon Williams, the apps designer, says the seafood locator does the work for you. "You'll see the prices, locations, how far it is away from you and even directions.", says Williams, who noted he was inspired after Katrina to find new and innovative ways to bring Louisiana culture to people who had never experienced it.

The app is available for free in the Google Play Store, and although currently most of the locations signed up for the service are in the Baton Rouge, New Orleans area, Williams said he is working hard to get retailers all over the state on board.

While the app is not currently available in our area, we have you covered when it comes to crawfish prices. Stay in the know and get crawfish prices for the Shreveport/Bossier area below.
