re: Crawfish boil question

Remember these are yankees, so as long as they get spiced up and are edible, I'm sure they will think it's great. I will let y'all know how it turns out, about to head over there. Thanks for the help!

Are they precooked without the shell? You can buy crawfish tails frozen, I really hope this is not what your boiling. Also if your boiling precooked crawfish WITH the shell, ive never seen this.

God knows what kind of bastardization they've done to the crawfish up there in the Northeast. Hell, in my experience you can't even get good boiled crawfish in Hot Springs or Little Rock, even they are too far north for good ones.

Word of advice I've found thr hard way, if your not within 50 miles of Louisiana, around the Redneck Riviera, or have a true coon-arse teaching/cooking them for you… don't bother because they'll turn out to be shite.

So they had two 5 lb bags of frozen whole precooked crawfish. No propane burner, so we were left with a couple pots on the stove. The house STUNK lol. People were walking in from the outside and were like "it smells like poop in here."

We overheated the first batch. It tasted ok, not as spicy as I like it but still had some spice/flavor. The 2nd batch was better timed and more tender. It was definitely the worst crawfish I ever had, but even for being the worst, it was still good.

There were about 10 people there and only one other person had ever eaten them before (the guy whose house we were at). About half the people tried it but only 4 of us really ate any, with me and the host throwing down most of it.

Thanks again for the help.

:sadface: those little guys gave their lives for that?
