If I buy a 40 lbs sack of LIVE crawfish...How many LBS of Boiled Crawfish will that give me?
The same question asked a different way:
If you are having a crawfish boil...How many live crawfish do you figure per person?

i'd say 5lb average per person. im assuming you will have corn and potatoes and mushrooms too though.

3-5 lb per person is an accurate assessment. Taking into account if you have children or heavy eating adults.

If I'm boiling for a large group that includes children, heavy eaters, and light eaters, I usually go 3-5 lbs per person on average.
If it's a small group of heavy eaters I usually go 5-7 lbs per person on average.
This is live lbs. I wouldn't have a clue what they weigh boiled. Boiled weight doesn't tell you anything. Depending on how how you cook them (some people do more steaming than boiling) or how long you soak them, it will impact the weight different.

I typically do not serve live crawfish to my friends.
Why is it that you belive 1lb of live crawfish weighs any different than 1lb of boiled crawfish
Its not hamburger.. They will lose a little weight from water loss but nothing really significant. Of course how long you soak them may bring that water back too.

OK, I'll play: Here's your conversion Ratio:
X = live
Y = boiled
X/1.000 = Y/1.037
Y accounts for a fraction more due to fluid retainage from boiling. Should we also factor in a dipping sauce in our Y conversion ratio?
