Frozen crawfish tails...rinse?
Posted on 12/22/16 at 9:08 pm

Been cooking my whole life for crowds to couples...just a camp cook though.
I have a phobia about using the whole bag of tails with the pancreas sauce as I've had one bad experience where the dish tasted like raw seafood. Therefore I rinse the crawfish first in a colander.
Seems sacrilege even though they are la certified crawfish.
Anyone else have this issue...talking frozen here?

We lightly rinse.

I wouldn't do that. But maybe it's just me.
Made 6 lbs of frozen La. tails into etouffee tonight. Was good.

On frozen, I wash the fat off. I've had more experiences where the dish came out fishy tasting than not if I didn't. I don't know why freezing them would have that effect. But it's been my experience.

No argument but is it really fat I always understood that to be the pancreas.

I've read that the head of the crawfish contains an organ called the "hepatapancreas" that people call this the "fat" of the crawfish.
I'm not sure if that's what's in the bag with the tails or not.
I had a dish come out muddy tasting one time, and I've rinsed ever since, Other folks say they have never had problems and that it is sacreligious to rinse.

Depends upon the brand and where I am buying from
Posted on 12/23/16 at 12:25 pm to tsunami11

I don't think I've ever rinsed crawfish tails.
