re: Crawfish covered in seasoned salt, WTF?

I've never had any boiled without post boil sprinkles that were bland. I've had them with post boiled sprinkles and found the fat and the tail to be bland. If you wipe off the spice on the outside and don't have the seasoning on your fingers, in my experience, they are not well seasoned on the inside. This has been true at most places/boils in which the post boil sprinkles are used.

Unlike you, I grew up with crawfish boiled in very highly seasoned water, so this is what I'm used to. If I'd grown up with post boil sprinkles, I suppose I might like those better. I don't know though. I peel and pop the tail out of the shell into my mouth, so I don't get too much of the dry seasoning with the tail. The tail is pretty bland without it.
