Everyone has their own boiling method, and some people purge with and without salt, whatever....but I have NEVER heard from ANYONE that salt kills the crawfish. I always purge with salt and have never seen them "instantly die."

Well being that these are fresh water creatures, if you dump salt in their water, they die. If you do it instantly from salting the water and into the pot quickly it's fine. But if you purge and let them sit while you're doing other batches you'll be cooking dead crawfish. Also, like you mentioned, it makes it tougher to pick out the dead ones.

The exact point to which I referred. As to who taught me, many people but I used to do it for a thing called MONEY.
