So I just moved from houma to Mandeville and the first thing I noticed is no one serves dip with boiled crawfish (or shrimp). Restaurants don't serve it, people don't eat it. I'm quite honestly in shock.

How normal is this in other parts of the state?

Unless you are 12, why are you dipping crawfish?

My first thought was that this was about a dip made with crawfish. But that's not correct, right? You mean something to dip crawfish into? I have family that do that. I don't care for it.

Everyone single home boil, every single restaurant in Terrebonne and Lafourche serves pink dip with boiled seafood. You dip your crawfish/seafood in it, the potatoes, the sausage, the mushrooms...all of it. I just assumed it was like this everywhere.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's basically half Mayo, half ketchup, usually doctored up with minced onions or sweet relish and most often Tony Chacheres

Buries the flavor of the seasoned crawfish to me. I've tasted variations of the dip you describe, but I don't use it. Might be okay in the potatoes. I've used it on French fries

Consider me confused. We had a thread about boiling crawfish in multiple batches earlier this week... And the OP attacked people on the basis of progressive flavors for boils... That people didnt know how to season their 1st pot.

And now is starting a thread about a dip for crawfish? A dip?

Nothing screams perfectly seasoned crawfish like Hellmans & Heinz.





Of course people have seen it. Along w vinegar, hot sauces, & butters.

Not putting condiments on my crawfish.

If you "grew up" with crawfish dip it means you "grew up" with crappy crawfish.

That's a bullshite opinion. I learned of the "dip" in the mid '80's when I started cooking with coonasses from V.P. Not my thing, but I do put out a cocktail sauce so Mrs. O can use it with her potatoes. Others can do as they wish with. It.

I do, however, love a little vinegar with a few shots of Trappey's or Crystal in it to drag a tail though, every so often. I like the extra "pop" this combo provides just before I suck the crawfish head.

Seems like people I knew used ketchup, worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce mixed together for the extras. I always liked it with captains wafers while my dad was boiling the crawfish. Hard to break that habit for nostalgia's sake.

That right there is BS and I'm not even a dipper. Some people just prefer it. I have siblings who grew up eating the same crawfish and still do, two of which prefer the mayo ketchup mix. My wife is a dipper also. Reason I don't is because the tail never touches my fingers, I suck it straight from the shell.
