"Seasoning" crawfish after they're boiled

Htown loves some no spice boiled crawfish, sauce on the outside at the end

Nogo for me

People in Basile do it with good results, and they farm a ton of crawfish in that area. They steam them, so they’re going for more tender meat.

Lafayette and west

North LA.

It's trash.

Waaaaaaaay too early for this fight

Most restaurants do that anywhere. If you want good crawfish, just do it yourself.

Born and raised in North LA. I never once did this and knew exactly one person in my life who did. It's much more common in Texas in my experience. These fake baws don't know any better.

Restaurants are a different story. Most don't have the time to soak each batch 30 minutes and still keep up with demand.

Right, I typically see this in restaurants. I have never witnessed anyone do this at a “home boil”, and I grew up in the Acadiana area (on crawfish farmland), and currently live in Lafayette.

If they boil it in plain water and just sprinkle dust, that would be the Chesapeake Bay region (Not Louisiana, obviously)

Those poor souls up there have no clue on how to properly boil their fine crabs, so I'm sure they'd screw up crawfish as well.

I have a buddy here in Dallas that steams and then soaks in seasoned water with damn good results.
