haha, all my friends that farmers in crowley that also run fields during crawfish season do it this way. with the seasoning in the icechest. laughing at the ones that think it doesnt work.
How do the tails get seasoned by dumping seasoning on the outside of the shell of the crawfish after cooking?

Boiling each batch for 30-45 minutes will maintain the spice ratio.

Fill 2 liter coke jugs with water and freeze, used these to stop them from cooking. I tested this method for my last boil a few weeks back, someone suggested it on the crawfish boil thread a while back. It worked like a charm..... Best crawfish ever......

i wouldn't do more than 2, maybe 3 batches before changing the water
This is correct as well as the half spice for each consecutive batch.
For 7 sacks in 2 pots, I would do 2 batches per pot then change the water and start over.
So 100 qt. pot does 2 batches, changes water and does two more, all while the 80 qt. pot does 2 batches, changes water and does one more.

Im continually amazed at how many people still spend 150 bucks to ruin some bugs over and over

Oh and don't worry, you'll get 7 pages plus of bad advice from over half of these goons.
Eta: Never take advice that starts with the words, "My family in Coonassfrick Corner, LA does..."

Lived with a guy in college from crowley who ran crawfish to baton rouge for a while. Sold boiled and live. They did the ice chest seasoning. It was edible, but not nearly as good as seasoning while cooking.
When we cook more than one pot, one pack of Louisiana crawfish and crab boil for the first batch, half a bag after.

as many times as i've boiled crawfish, i have never gotten sufficient flavor from adding just one bag/can of crab boil
whether it be louisiana, or zat's, one just doesnt seem to cut it, unless i'm just impatient and don't let them soak long enough
i always have at least 1 1/2 bags or jars in the first batch, not to mention, i usually add a little salt and cayenne along with that

Terrible. And vegetables have no taste.
Posted on 5/5/14 at 4:07 pm to Flamefighter
Use this to, I put 1 bottle per batch.
Posted on 5/5/14 at 4:14 pm to Croacka
With Louisiana, I've found one big bag works well for the spice. We do add another thing of salt though plus lemons and garlic and whatnot. If you soak them right, I find the Louisian spicyness comes out pretty good with not much effort.

need to try a product called "chackbay seasoning" no salt, just pepper. you won't regret. Rouse's sells it.
Posted on 5/5/14 at 4:22 pm to chackbay
I've had it. Still prefer Louisiana w/ a little extra salt.
Posted on 5/5/14 at 4:23 pm to KG6
Since we're talking seasoning, anyone try the Slap Your Mama seasoning yet?
