Crawfish Boil
Posted on 3/16/11 at 5:11 pm

I have never had any crawfish and I am pretty sure most of my friends haven't either. I am thinking about having a boil this summer and was wondering how easy it would be for someone with no experience?
I found a great site to order from I think.

1st - find someone who knows what they are doing and learn from them.

I know where those people get their crawfish from and they should be quality.

I advise you to have an experienced friend/somebody to help you. You dont want shitty crawfish for your first time.

I'll put out some feelers but I really don't think I know anyone who has cooked crawfish.

Yea I agree with everyone else...you need to find someone that has a little experience. To us that do it all the time it may not sound like anything too major but it's not a simple task for some who has never boiled crawfish. If your set on trying it yourself, there have been a few good threads on here the past few days that you could get some advice from.

I say give it a shot. Just know the season ends late May early June. Do your research and make it happen

If you're going to spend the money to order and give this a shot, order plenty to allow for a first batch error. Generally, folks who don't know what they're doing, get a pretty bland batch on the first go round. When they're bland, they're just not good for eating, boiled. You can still peel those and use them for another dish, though.

I keep mine pretty simple. For every 30 pounds of crawfish i use 6 cups of Louisiana crab boil and 2 cups of salt. Throw your seasoning in a pot and bring it to a boil. Boil the crawfish for about 5 minutes or until they turn bright red. Turn off your heat and add a half pound of butter, 1 quart of lemon juice and half a bag of ice. I let mine soak for at least 30 minutes. The longer you let em soak the better they will be. Good luck.

I'm surprised that no one else is surprised you've ever had crawfish?
If this really is your first time ever eating them, I wouldn't try making them myself. Especially if it's some kind of big gathering with friends. i would order them from some place that you know/heard was good.
I was would try boiling them yourself for something smaller so you can try some different things out to where if it doesn't work out, you don't waste a lot and you don't get a bad impression.
Because honestly, it really isn't that easy if you don't know what you're doing.

I don't understand why people insist on using boxed salt plus a powder seasoning boil.
2 quarts of lemon juice seems too much as well. I'm not a big fan of lemons in crawfish boils.
FYI liquid crab boil plus a jug of powder has never let me down.
