Boiling Crawfish-- Straight Tails and Purging

LSU crawfish researcher, Ray McClain, was quoted in this issue of Gambit and in this link LINK that the LSU AgCenter has “disproved” the premature death of straight tailed boiled crawfish belief, as well as disproving the belief that purging crawfish removes the “black stuff” from their tails.

Having lived in New Orleans all of my life, everyone that I knew (me too) believed the “myth.”
