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.

Unless they are transplants, they are not going to eat that many crawfish. I have a buddy in Pittsburg and he boils for friends and they only eat a handful each (like a paper plate amount.)

Gotcha. That's a tough one. I guess if you went by live weight you would definitely have enough...and probably some to spare.

I used to eat them at a place that would seemingly have a pound of lemons and onions in a 5 pound tray of crawfish(probably an exaggeration). I liked the onions, but always felt like I was getting screwed out of a pound of crawfish.
