While I am an amateur chef at best, I'm sure their season-all can be easily substituted. I know my dad didn't use that when he made it and it came out damn good, just like at the restaurant.

I doubt I would use a season all, but I'm curious about it. That and no stock. Theirs seems to have a lot of flavor, but they probably get a lot of fat.

I've never made a crawfish stock.. We know where crawfish come from and I'd be afraid of a mud taste coming through.. I use the crawfish fat and chicken broth can be used instead of water..

our version of a bisque is a thick gumbo sort of. lot of roux

our etouffee doesn't have any roux.

If you clean them well and then strain through cheesecloth, it's fine. My issue is that I've tried to do with heads and claws from a boil, but even with a good rinsing, the stock is too peppery. I'm not boiling crawfish plain just to get a stock, though.
