I was there too, my neighbor bought some the previous weekend and said they had no fat and had a good bit of dead ones.


Yes, a lot were crushed. I pulled most of the dead loss out before I boiled it. I had about two pounds of dead. Then another pound of tinys and straight tails after boil. So 25 pounds, with 22 being decent.

I got the worst sack though, I was not the early bird, lol.

You probably have an inside contact to notify of this. That's just improper handling. My guy up here handles his sacks like newborn infants...it makes a difference.

Why? Don't eat mealy crawfish, that's the only rule I employ. If the tail breaks apart before it comes out of the shell it's usually not getting eaten by me. If it comes out perfectly with a bit of fat on it I don't care if it died before it went into the boil.

straight tail does not mean it was dead when cooked, common myth
