All it does is torture the crawfish before you kill them. So NO...I don't purge with salt. Plus its a waste of salt.

I have done both... salt purging showed no cleaner vein than when not salt purging.

It's useless. Those who do it only do so because of what they were told growing up. LSU did a study on it pretty recently showing that it did nothing pretty recently if anyone has the time to search for it.

It doesn't make a different but I never tell people that. I figure if it makes them feel better let them do it, salt is cheap.

if you want more dead crawfish in the pot, then purge them with salt.
