Man I hate when people call to order "bags" of crawfish, don't know why but it pissed me off
 At restaurant depot my buyer (bought for the New Orleans store) was from New York and he called them bags. I tried to convert him to the term "sack" but it never caught on with him. 
I guess he was used to ordering bags of clams and bags of mussels.

i will...small batch is the way to go. Its quick, effective and they don't get cold either on the table or in the insulated ice chest. Your not suffering from SMS are you, with your LARGE batch cooking? Drive a hummer or a 4wheel drive Ford 250 with chrome cattle guard?

ahhh yes..Ycloskey. say no more. I always thought Venice was the cesspool of La. until i had the misfortune of having to get on a boat for an offshore job from your fine hometown many, many years ago. I bow down to your undoubtedly fine education on the epicurean schooling you have received. I have been corrected.
Now that i have finished that beer, be a good lil boy and get me a good cold one this time. Oh, and get my cigarettes and a lighter too if you don't mind

Impressive. But if you put ice in the water to cool it down, you need to learn somemore. Its way to easy to boil them for a few minutes, turn the fire off and let them soak if thats the way you do it. No need for ice. Actually, cooling them off will cause the shell to harden, making them harder to peel.

Lemons are a must. People who say they don't make a difference are wrong.
I use about 6 lemons per sack plus some lemon concentrate.
Lester, you use catsup on your crayfish?

you actually made me laugh. Catsup you say? i can honestly say i have never, ever had that vile knockoff of Ketchup cross my lips. My cultured palate wouldn't THINK of using catsup for a dip. Now i do admit, i do use ketchup, mayo, hotsauce, horseradish for a fine concoction to dip a boiled potato in now and again. And no margerine either. Only fine, sweet butter to coat my fresh picked corn between bites of fine steamed dads.
How many bottles of catsup do you use on a typical boil to go along with your Schaffer Light/Busch/Keystone/Natural Lite beer?

I actually know quite a few Texans who steam their crawfish and thats just how they like it. They fill the bottom of the pot with beer, steam them, and then add seasoning on the outside. Not my thing but different folks different strokes. That said, being that you steam crawfish and not boil them, how are you going to come in here and tell us how to boil crawfish? Something you clearly don't care for nor do. That's just straight stupid.

yellow...just an old man with nothing better to do than to mess with a bunch of youngsters. Don't take it personally. Come to the steam side. Open up your mind. You might actually convert one day if you give it a try

Just not my thing man. The issue I have here is you trying to rag on the right way to boil crawfish. I have many close friends in the New Orleans area that own successful seafood businesses that stop the cooking process by using ice. While you may not think it's the correct way to do it, their customers and bank accounts would suggest otherwise.

If their restaurants are in the NO area, i would guess their main patrons are tourists, which have no clue on what would taste good or not. There is no correct way to do it. Its what you, as the cook likes to prepare. Myself, i like them steamed the way i do them. Will i eat boiled crawfish? All day long. Will i eat steamed crawfish. All day long. I prefer them steamed so that water isn't running down my arms. I'm not ragging anyone on the way crawfish are cook. I think too many people take it way to seriously. As i said earlier, its not rocket science. I don't need to follow a 'trend' to get the end result i like. If you do, so be it....

Joe, I tried your recipe and I didn't really like the way they came out. I think my batch was too big since I don't have the right size (15 lb) equipment, so that threw off the timings.
You mind if I stop by one of your boils to try them some time?

I dont understand some people's fascination with lemons in a crawfish boil... I sort of get it with crabs or shrimp, but for me I dont want the crawfish I eat or cook to even remotely taste like a lemon.
Only thing they are good for IMO is for the girls afterwards to wash off their hands with.
Same with onions, they serve no purpose whatsoevr.
YOu eat EVERYTHING else added to a crawfish boil.
Eggs, corn, potatoes, mushrooms and suasauge.
You dont lemons and nobody I know eats the onions.
Wast of time and money IMO.
