re: Who the hell dust their crawfish?

One of the seafood stores that I enjoy in New Orleans told me they mainly use Deep South Blends seasoning. I assume they mean Cajun Land. Then they possibly use this along with with their own ratio of seasoning. Then they add a liquid boil, probably Zatarains, after the boil.
However, when I use Cajunland I find it to be a bit too spicy. I enjoy spice, but I still don't see how they get it to be so sweet without the spice.
Does anyone know how they get them to be so much better tasting in the New Orleans area? As I pointed out before, someone told me it's yellow mustard powder.

It’s not.
ETA: Deep South makes a lot of custom blends. Many stores/chains have their own seasoning packets that are different from the mainline Cajun Land taste.

No yellow mustard
Call Capt Sids in Metairie (Buchtown). They will send you a bag of their seasoning blend. If you are doing more that one bag of crawfish tell them and they have a “kicker” to ensure that water is seasoned appropriately. I think you can get 2 or 3 boils without starting fresh. They also ship and can give you details. They have that spicy/sweet flavor, which I think comes from the meat/fat but isn’t actually masked by extreme spice
