Crawfish covered in seasoned salt, WTF?

I moved to Lafayette a little over a year ago. The people here coat their boiled crawfish with seasoned salt. What the hell is wrong with you people? It's disgusting. You're ruining a staple food of this state. If you've gotta cover them in salt after you boil them, you're doing something wrong.
That is all.
That is all.

I'm sure that it will be corrected after this thread.

You mean Tony's?
It's pretty typical to throw more crab boil and Tony's in the chest and shake it up, then let the crawfish rest for a while before consuming. That's what I grew up with.. why is that so terrible?

I know. I was shocked when I heard about this...the first 30 times on the food board.
Just for future reference, people also eat well done steaks and jambalaya with tomatoes. And there is no Santa Claus.

This subject is one that has been argued over and over on this board.
The problem is that most people who follow this method do not season the water nearly enough. They rely on the "steaming or melting" of the seasonings in the ice chest to season the crawfish. A lot of crawfish boilers do this as well especially if they want to offer various degrees of heat to customers. I find the crawfish tail and fat to be bland most of the time. The seasoning on your fingers is what you taste. It burns the lips. Many times while the crawfish are in the chest so the dry seasoning can "melt" into the bugs, they are continuing to cook and become overcooked or mushy.
This is definitely not my preferred method of eating crawfish. The first time I saw it was when I hired a boiler for an office function. Never dawned on me that crawfish were cooked any other way than with highly seasoned water. I was flabbergasted. I assumed the water was seasoned and all of this extra stuff was going to make them hotter and saltier. They explained there wasn't much seasoning in the water and the bottom line was that they also believed it to be a cheaper method. So disappointing.

I have literally never seen anyone put seasoned salt post boil. I have seen people use additional seasoning like swampdust or louisiana seafood blend to add more spice and allow to soak in the ice chest after, but I have never seen anyone use seasoned salt. I dont think you know what seasoned salt is.

Funniest thing about all of this is the first person I've ever seen do this was about 8 years ago, and a guy from Gretna was boiling them.
It's people all over the state.

Huh? Did you misspell Texas? B/c any Louisiana native that ruined a batch of crawfish like that shouldn't be invited to the next boil.

Steamed Crawfish is an abomination.
