re: Crawfish: Boiled to Live conversion

1. Comparing the makeup of crawfish being cooked to hamburger is stupid.

2. Crawfish will lose water weight. However when you soak the crawfish that water should go back into the crawfish for the most part.. Unless you plan on putting them on a grill at McDonalds the comparison sucks.

3. Do you go to Sammy's with a scale? How do you really know you were ever served 3 pounds? I guarantee nobody gets exactly three pounds. If anything everyone gets more.

I have catered many crawfish boils and I have never seen this question asked. You always boil slighly more than you need. You have no clue how many will be dead before the boil.
