1 small bottle liquid boil


Waste of money.

1 bag of LA seasoning does 1 sack. Add small bag of LA seasoning for each additional sack.

Liquid boil is stupid and tastes like Kerosene.

I substitute a big bottle of lemon juice rather than actual lemons just because it’s more bang for your buck but everything else is pretty similar.

personally prefer cooking sausage in a separate pot.
why not just grill it. Who would want boiled meat over grilled meat?

Next thing you know we gonna be dumping pork chops on the table.

I like crawfish, potatoes, corn and onion. Like God intended

This is the part I don't get about the sausage people. 1. It does nothing for the crawfish. 2. No one would choose to cook their sausage that way if it were not for the boil going on. It's got to be one of the dumbest decisions human being have made since fire.

The part I don't get is how stupid you would have to be to light a grill to cook sausage when you have a boiling caldron filled with spices already going. People have been boiling sausage since the beginning of sausage. Boiled sausage is great. Boiled sausage enhanced with crawfish spices is even better. A few lbs of sausage in a 100 quart of spice loaded boiling water and 40lbs of crawfish will not affect the crawfish one bit. But it will produce a nice contrast to the meal and requires almost zero effort. There is a reason why Low Country Boils, which are shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes are so popular. It's because boiled sausage and seafood is a national treasure.

Its not for the crawfish. You get a little taste of the boil on the sausage thats why people do it. I have personally gotten away from it and will just grill some while getting the boil ready just to have something to eat on while drinking beers.

Yeah man, firing up another heating source to cook the sausage is far superior to just dumping it into the already heated and boiling pot of spiced water.

It's a fricking crawfish boil. People can do whatever the hell they want. You people are so annoying.

I’m fine with all that except for the sausage. I don’t want meat in my boiled crawfish.


The sausage and the crawfish are pretty self contained.

I usually do a smoked sausage. They stay together pretty well.

You're better than this. Any sausage you've ever spent money on is already seasoned. You also know you have never once set up a pot just to boil sausage.

had them two weeks ago

i actually got 4 lbs from them and 4 lbs from crawfish on the go dudes on acadian

i gave both a c+

i give the nod to Bertholots because more citrus shined through in their crawfish

plus their crawfish were much bigger than the crawfish guys on acadian

if you go there, hopefully you arent behind like 3 people bc the one old lady in there takes forever to put orders together. She needs help bigly

capital city crawfish on gov't still make the best ones near me
