I've never been served dusted crawfish anywhere I've ordered in NOLA area/BR and the two places in Lafayette I was taken to (don't recall names of those)

Tell the bitchers you'll be over to their house next week so they can boil crawfish for you.

Tony's, Mr. Crawfish, LA Boilers are not the places I'm talking about. Those are more like seafood markets.
I've had Sammy's. Not sure on the others you mentioned.
I said "most". Not all.

Ok. So if it’s “most” then start naming them.

It's been a few years since I tried them, but the guy at Pit-N-Peel on Government dusts. Never went back.

Is this a legit question on this board? Geeeze.

Based on your down vote to up vote ratio, I think you know the answer.

As long as you season the pot I guess dusting can’t hurt.
Nobody I know does dusting. They just season the pot really well so the dust is not needed.

Fezzo's, The Cajun Table, Crawfish Time, Hawk's, and honestly, probably some of the places you listed are dusting and you don't even know it.

Absolutely not, I worked at most of those places boiling crawfish when I was younger

Well, good to know. But how long ago was that?

Thanks for website. I usually agree with those who say never dust, but when you have a mixed gang of local's & family & wives who are not from here, how do you stop the bitching
I wouldn’t invite people to a boil that are going to bitch
You’re getting free food, stfu and eat it or don’t, I don’t care. But, if you’re going to bitch, then don’t let the door hit you in the arse.

Mostly the pot but also a little when I dump them just in case.

Not the biggest crawfish eater, but even I know that you shouldn't dust. If you're that desperate for flavor, just get a salt lick and sprinkle some seasoning on it.
E.G.:
Louisiana Fish Fry 4.5lb bag
That is 1781 SERVINGS.
EACH serving is 380 mg of sodium.

Season the pot but personally dont mind a light dusting.

They soak for a regular order but if you wanted them spicier they would dust on top

Probably did dust - but do it right so you didn't even realize it
