Only answer IMO. I like the taste of crawfish. No need to put some overbearing sauce on it.

I'm with you on this. A good, well seasoned batch of crawfish don't need squat to taste any better than they already are.

Kind of like folks that dip raw oysters in that ketchup based sauce and toss them on crackers to eat------WHY??? A good, fat, salty oyster is great on its own.

why would you cover up the flavor of crawfish with canes sauce?

Plain.

The way I eat them the tail meat doesn’t touch my hand. If they are cooked right I remove the tail from the head, suck the head, then pinch the tail and pull meat out with my teeth.

I do at times like to dip a potato in a sauce if it’s available.

I have noticed the places with the best crawfish boilers also are the places where dip is favored.

Lafourche / terrebonne specifically.

I have family that moved to Lafayette for college 20 years ago and stayed. They and all their friends always have dip at their boils. The crawfish taste fine without it.

They should be seasoned enough in the boil. You don't need canes sauce.


They don't NEED it, I just like it. The flavor profiles compliment one-another. The canes sauce tastes especially good on the potatoes.

I’m a fan of white vinegar with just a touch of the boil powder in it.

Another good title for this thread could be... "What brand of ketchup do you put on your ribeye?"

A well cooked, well seasoned steak, doesn't need steak sauce.

Same applies for crawfish.

Canes Sauce


Never heard of or even considered anything like this until my daughter (no pics) went to LSU. Apparently everyone dips crawfish in Cane's sauce. Haven't tried yet but may give it a shot.

I use "dip" for crawfish boil sides, I don't dip the actual crawfish.
