You gotta think though. A 4.5 lb bag of zats mix probably has at least 3 lbs of salt in it. 2 of those round boxes are around 3 lbs of salt total. The salt content is the same, it's just changing where the salt comes from.

1 pound lol

At least that's what I use wth the zats


That's what I always thought but I had to ask. People freak out at 2-3 of the 1lb "boxes" but that's not a lot of salt in a 100qt pot considering everything you're putting in there. No, if you're adding in any kind of pre-mix shite you really should hold off on adding the salt. I use an old recipe from the Picayune that was passed down to me from my grandpa and dad. It's antiquated, sure, but it's a little throwback everytime we get the pot going.


100qt pot filled half way
3 - 1lb "boxes" of salt
12 - onions
12 - garlic (halved)
12-18 - lemons
1 bunch - celery
2 - 16oz zats liquid crab boil
6 - zats bags
1 cup - garlic powder
1-2 cups - cayenne
1/2 cup - italian seasoning

I tried the Chackbay yesterday. Did something similar to the OP's recipe. I cut my salt back to 1-1/2 and they were not salty. You might could go back to just one. That stuff doesn't have any salt that I could taste nor does the liquid crab boil.

That's similar to my FIL. No italian dressing though. He does put 1 or 2 big bottles of LA hot sauce in which would be like the vinegar in Italian dressing.

Edit: I can't read gud

The first one. The cylinder not the box. Coonasses ain't going to call it a cylinder of salt, box sounds better.

For clarification, I'm not talking about the industrial sized boxes of salt. It's the 1lb canister/cylinder with the little pour spout on top

I know just my dumb brain can't get past putting in just one pound instead of 4.5


I'm all in with you on that one! (from previous thread).

I go with 4lbs of swamp dust and 1lb of louisiana for my dry seasoning. Add the bottle of liquid louisiana or zats, whatever i'm feeling at the time.

I have no idea TBH. If I was doing it, I'd probably put it in with the crawfish. Doesn't seem like it would hold up to that much boiling


If I'm wrong, someone correct me

I put it in at the beginning with onions and all, it's more for seasoning though, not to eat. If you wanna eat them, do them later.

You think that 5 lbs of stuff you put in there doesn't have 2-3 pounds of salt?

Yea it's for seasoning not to eat but ppl eat it. It soaks up the seasoning so it's pretty hot.

Pumped about trying a new seasoning out. My goal is to have friends say it's the best shite they ever had. Most boils are delicious but I want that compliment of these were the shite. I don't think anyone I know uses chackbay. Does any restaurants in BR use it?

I put the corn, sausage and mushrooms in when I kill the fire and they come out just fine

I use the frozen corn to cool the water even though I know it's not enough to do shite to the temp
