Please explain why you think there is a need to add seasoning if you had it seasoned properly to begin with. I mean. I understand that if you add water, it will dilute it. I also understand if you want it spicier the next batch, you add more or adjust. But on what planet does the crawfish suck the seasoning out of the water? They soak up the seasoned water. They don't act as micro filters or water purifiers that pull the seasonings out.

You will lose seasoning if you do a 2nd batch and do not add seasoning. The crawfish/potatoes/etc will soak up a lot of the seasoning.

If you want to be consistent on the 2nd batch, you will have to add seasoning. I had the owners of Deep South Blenders (Cajun Land Seasoning) tell me before I opened up my seafood shop in Baton Rouge to add half of the 1st batch recipe on the 2nd boil and 1/4 of the 1st batch recipe if you do a 3rd boil.

It worked for me in my opinion.
