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 have a friend in PA that wants me to drive up some crawfish for a "Pennsylvania Crawfish Boil." He wants to sell tickets to the crawfish boil that will guarantee everyone X-Number of LBS of Boiled Crawfish (I am thinking 3+ Corn and Potatoes...like Sammy's).

So If I am going to give someone 3 LBS of Boiled crawfish...I am wondering how many "LIVE" crawfish that needs to be.

That is why I asked.
