Well they are Vietnamese. They immigrated to the US in 84.

They didn't know how to fry chicken and the previous owner of Blue Store taught them.

i like both ways.....i will say a proper soaked crawfish tends to have more juice but will give you the shits quickly due to the liquid but they do taste a little better

I grew up with season the shite out of the water with liquid boil, regular seasonings, lemons, oranges, boil veggies and remove, then add more seasonings, boil crawfish, place in ice chest with light dusting and let soak for 10-12 min.

not enough dusting to cause residue but these always turn out very very good and consistent

later I discovered letting them soak in the water for a long time. Takes a lot longer, method we do is remove the pot from the fire, place in a 55g drum that is cut off and let the cold water cool the pot slowly on the outside while the crawfish soak. these produce the most consistent but take way longer. they are juicer though

both ways are great if done correctly and 99% of yall would love them either way

now that mustard shite, heavy heavy dusting and all the other bullshite i see...frick off with that. Minced garlic is ok.

First of all they haven't
Price is $2.25 to the farmer right now might bounce back up to $2.50
You can find places in Acadiana that are selling boiled crawfish at $5
The farmer price will be $1-$1.25 in 6-8 weeks when catch starts peaking

Demand is higher because the market has expanded but also acres have more than doubled in the last 10 years

Everyone in industry is working on thin margins with the price of inputs going up and its really about how much volume you can move

Imagine acting like the ability to throw mud covered crustaceans in a pot of boiling water is some kind of culinary feat that can only be duplicated by fellow sawed off knuckle dragging drunk neck tatted dumb frick retards. Thanks for the laughs


I approve of this post.

You obviously can’t if you think a bunch of places in Lafayette are using purely soak methods



Your penchant for presumption is noted once more. Again - not the boiling places/restaurants I frequent, not my family, and not my friends in and around Lafayette.

The method with which I was taught as a lad, to which my family utilizes and has utilized for generations, and to which my friends employ is from the pot to the table - no ice chests and no dusting required. If you cannot tell the difference in the final product and enjoy crawfish in that way, ce la vie; however, such discernment is easy for me and for many others.

Relax.

Whoever buys and boils the crawfish gets to boil/cook them however they’d like.

Some of the best crawfish I’ve had have been steamed then dusted after. If the dusting spice is more fine like powder then it turns out good.

I dont do it but to each their own.

I watched some NOLA folks cook 2 sacks of crawfish in nothing but a shite load of margarine. They didn't add any seasoning until the crawfish was moved out of the boil and into a couple of large coolers and they stirred it all up with a cook paddle.
