I haven't seen it mentioned and thought it might deserve its own thread with boiled seafood season about to be in full swing. Dip is a must for boiled seafood. We make it with mayo, mustard, ketchup, chopped onion and garlic powder (sometimes hot sauce). What do you put in yours or do you not use any?

If your boiled seafood tastes so good, why do you need dip?

Mr. Nikinik does mayo, mustard, ketchup and Tobasco.

When I eat berled scrimps, I like to dip it in drawn butter and then a tiny dab of Old Bay.

That stuff always reminded me of Cane's sauce.

Never been to a boil in the bayou area that didn't have it. I never thought it odd until I went eat boiled seafood with some of my NOLA friends and they had never heard of making a dipping sauce for seafood boils. It is hard to beat the boiled veggies and the sauce

i like a mayo/ketchup/hot sauce combo, mostly with shrimp, but it can work for crawfish too

also like Cousin's Creole Tomato salad dressing as a dip. that shite is amazing

I never knew people did this until I went to my husband's family boil in Laffy. They're all about the dip

and it sucks

Ugh...a warm day, a little drunk, a tub full of what amounts to Cane's sauce is the last thing I want in front of me at a boil.

I'm not a fan, but i'll make a little saamthin for the table if a guest requests it. Some of you sure are militant about some weird shite.

I find this odd since every boil i have been to south of HWY 90 has served dip. All the restaurants down here include it with your meal.

Don't forget the chunks of shell, spit, and rancid mayo.
