Multiple Batches of Crawfish
Posted on 5/22/20 at 1:33 pm

So I just recently started cooking crawfish. I used to just let everyone else cook them when we've had boils. I've lucked up and gotten pretty good at boiling them in a short period of time somewhat thanks to TD. After some friends/family tasted my crawfish last time I cooked them they asked if I'd do the Memorial Day boil this year. Problem is that I have my recipe down pretty good on one sack but I don't know how much seasoning/etc to add to each subsequent bag. I'll be doing 5-7 sacks in a single sack cooker. Also, should I completely change out the water halfway through?

I'd seriously find another pot for 5-7 sacks..... that's 3-4 hours of work with 1 pot.
Boil 2 sacks then change water. Between 1st and 2nd sack add half the seasoning that you put the first time.

Use a larger pot. I stop at 3 boils per pot.

Sorry to hijack, but I have a crawfish question.
A bar by my house has been doing crawfish every Friday and Sunday the last three weeks. I have never had bad crawfish from this place over the years and the ones I have two weeks ago were great as usual.
This past Sunday we got some and it seemed like 1/3 of them were bad. Either chewy and/or had a pretty off taste.
Am I to assume he got some bad crawfish or is it possible he put some of the leftovers from Friday into the Sunday pot at soak time?

I do 3 batches all the time without changing the water. Just make sure you do a good job cleaning them.
I usually add about 1/4 to 1/2 more seasoning than what I used in the first batch to each subsequent batch.

I'd look into boiling in one pot and soaking in another. That way when you change out the water you are not wasting the seasoned water.
