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?

Maybe he experimented with his seasoning for some unknown reason and that may explain the off taste. I know ever since they've been making the powdered seasoning, I've never gone back to the liquid stuff.

When I was younger it was always the liquid and bags of seasoning that went into the boil and that has a taste all its own.

Then again, this time of year the crawfish are getting hard as far as the shells being a PITA to fool with as the summer heat hits. I rarely boil this late in the year because most of what I can get is Belle River crawfish and they are hard shelled when compared to pond mudbugs..
