How many lemons/onions do you put in your crawfish?

If you ask me, the lemons aren't necessary


A handful of lemons wont make much difference to a pot of crawfish


I add however many onions I think people will eat

Maybe 6-8 per batch

Corn is more popular, maybe 10 small ears per batch


I put frozen corn in when I cut the fire off

It acts as ice to cool down the water but they still get cooked enough

Some people will do all their veggies in the first batch, but I usually don't


Don't forget some mushrooms, they are very popular at my crawfish boils


Eta: Walmart usually has the trays

Maybe even an albertsons or other grocery store

Per every 43-lb. sack of crawfish, I use 12 lemons and 6 large onions.

None.
Lemons are for your hands afterwards and onions are for cosmetic purposes.
Neither enhance the flavor and IMO are a waste of money.
