I was just asked about where to get the biggest crawfish. Apparently, that is the mission. Open to new ideas though. Full disclosure: not from LA, married into So. La family
I stay away from big crawfish. no juice when you suck the head & meat in tail doesn't come out easy sometime. give me medium crawfish anyday

I like a medium crawfish too in many cases, and don't mean to open another "this is how you boil" debate, but that's what timing crawfish will get you. If you soak till they sink, they all get juice in the head and have flavor. Boiled a sack of XL a few days ago and they took about 55 minutes soak time to achieve desired result. The bigger and harder they are typically, the longer the soak is required.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the crawfish and everything to do with the chef.
