Need Boiled Crawfish Lafayette: No Sprinkles
Posted on 5/8/17 at 11:26 am

Sprinkles are for cupcakes, not crawfish. That isn't up for debate. Where can I find them boiled in Lafayette the proper way (seasoned boil & soaked). I have been to several places that almost ruin them with the gritty & salty seasonings sprinkled heavily over the mudbugs.

From my experiences it's not possible. Head east across the basin to BR.

Go to Abbeville just down the road, Cajun Claws or Richards...hard to wrong down there.

I'll give Dwight's a try soon. I'm familiar with them but I wasn't sure if they sprinkled or not. When I'm up for a day trip, I'll give the joints in Abbeville a try. I like to get the oysters at Dupuy's when I'm down that way.

It's b/c when you're boiling 100+ sacks of crawfish it's virtually impossible to have any consistency. I've said this before and got hammered on it (people said I had no clue what I was talking about
) many places boil in water only. They season it after with a high quality seasoning mix that disappears. One of the most high volume joints in the acadiana area does it. I know those dudes personally. Found out some old buddies have a couple places they boil at and also do catering. Had a couple beers with them this weekend and they do it like that as well. They said no one knows they sprinkle. Don't have time to let them soak is another reason b/c you have to put out so much product.

Fine, but how is it places in New Orleans and the surrounding area can turn them out the proper way?

You should see the looks and hear the comments when we do a boil for people and they learn how we cook.

Crawfish Time
Ridge road or Verot location
I find the best in town. My only complaint is the veggies are boiled I plain water.

you think they don't sprinkle?Posted on 5/8/17 at 8:14 pm to GusMcRae
My cousin boiled crawfish last week.
Boiled them in cayenne pepper and garlic only. Then shaked them in ice chest over swamp dust season. Let sit for 20 mins and wouldn't let anyone open ice chest no matter what.
They were some of the best crawfish I've ever had
No gritty one bit. Juicy and clean

Crawfish Time sprinkles the hell out of them. I ate there a couple of days ago and that inspired this post. They were big and good, don't get me wrong. However, if I'm paying top dollar for crawfish I want them done the proper way.

Dwights, Cajun Claws and Richard's all sprinkle

To be fair I've just eaten crabs at Richards (and. Can't even remember when it was its been so long). My folks are from there and they go down often. Last time, they ate crawfish at Cajun Claws and my dad said they were damn good. He's is a soaker, and I just passed on the recommendation from his comment.
I've eaten at many home boils in the area and I've never seen a sprinkle chest.

I always boil and soak in heavily seasoned water. However, for my large boils, some of the people wait until others have eaten and request some (don't cake it) dusting on the outsides.
When I do that, I pour lemon juice on the crawfish so the seasoning can almost "melt", close the chest for exactly 60 seconds, then pour out on the table.
I always make that the last batch or two, though. First batches contain zero dusting.

I know quite a few people in the Acadiana area and none of them care for the sprinkles or do at at home boils. They wrinkle their noses when I mention it. That's what is so curious. Maybe it is a large scale consistency issue- but I've never had a boiling place sprinkle them in the New Orleans area.

If you put lemon juice and use a blend seasoning from targil that is made to melt better which these places do most of the time you won't know they sprinkle if done right
