Crawfish: breaking up a sack
Posted on 2/27/16 at 10:34 am

Splain me why the guys selling them consider this a bad thing. Our usual place is now saying he's tired of giving them away and is charging extra for it. Some places won't even do it. Why?

Because the weather is is to cold.
Gas prices are to low.
His illegals are working to slow.
Many more possible excuses but these are the the norm.

Because it takes extra time to do it. I don't see anything wrong with selling it for more money if you have to break a sack. This type of thing goes on in all business.
Go to Sam's or Costco and compare prices on like items to walgreens or your small local supermarket.

Too much crawfish, no such thing
Damn, now I have extra tails leftover for an etoufee. What a shame

If I can find a place that would break up a sack consistently i'd probably buy more often. During the week 15lbs for me and 2 others would be perfect.

Biggest reason for me was I got very few request for it so if I did it once I got stuck with the other half.
Seems like it would be easier just to buy them boiled for that few

Exactly.
In college, I'd get sammys to set aside half sacks for me and they'd do it. Not sure if they still would.
Retail it's just a pain in the arse and time consuming for something that most people don't want.
Maybe somewhere like LA boilers would?

Yeah for the first boil of the season, or for a quick and easy one, I like to do a small batch just for me, wife and kids. I rarely buy them boiled. We like the boiling process as much as the eating.

i always buy half sacks because we like to boil without having to invite 10 people over. Tony's, Montalbanos, and that place where the old Mrs Goldies was will do it. If you're in BR that is. Montalbanos does charge an extra .25 a lb.

Castnet Seafood in New Orleans East sells them by the pound, not by the sack. Same price whether you buy 4 pounds or 40 pounds.
They break open every sack they get, walk them (pick out the dead and the trash) and wash them ... THEN they weigh up however many pounds you want and put them in a sack.
They NEVER just flip a sack and re-sell the same one they bought without breaking it down.

Why would you take the time to boil for anything less than a sack? I'm not gonna get all that shite and have all that cleanup for 15-20 lbs

Sounds like a good operation. Wish they were closer to the Mande area.

It's an excellent operation.
My baby brother still works there ... I think it was last Saturday he boiled 7500 pounds.
They move some crawfish.

What Yellowfin said. Usually get stuck with the other half the sack.

Cause some people enjoy boiling? I mean, is it really much work?

I boil 10-15 pounds all the time on my back patio here in Atlanta. Boiled crawfish aren't readily available out here, so if you only want a few pounds, gotta do it yourself.
I don't use my big pot for that, though. I got this smaller, granite-enamel pot that was labeled as a "seafood steamer" pot ($15 at a close-out store) ... has a basket insert. Perfect for 15 pounds plus sides. I just knocked down the ratio of seasoning.
It's actually a really quick boil, as the propane burner brings that baby to a boil hella fast.

I bought half a sack at heads and tails last week one night after work.
