re: spinoff: what do you dip your crawfish in?

Every seafood restaurant I've been to in these places has "dip". Every boil at someone's house has had "dip". From some of the best crawfish I've ever had to the worst, still dip. I don't need it at all, but it certainly doesn't hurt (as I find ketchup does with a steak). I also like to make the cracker sandwiches, but get quite annoyed peeling crawfish and not eating it immediately
, so it doesn't happen often. I've always been more of a boiled shrimp fan, and they definitely taste good with a bit of dip.
My dip:
Mayo
Ketchup
Worcestershire Sauce
Minced Onions

Mayo, Ketchup, seasoning combination

I'm in the camp that says it's weird, time-consuming and unnecessary if your crawfish have any seasoning at all. We have one set of friends that do the "cracker/dip/garlic" routine, which always struck me as bizarre. A freakin' Saltine cracker! Crawfish aren't raw oysters!
I guess after reading this thread, it's not as uncommon as I thought, though.

You guys are overthinking this. Trust me, the crawfish are just as good as anyone else's. But it's like eating buffalo wings. There's a ton of seasoning in that sauce. Even with the best wings, dipping them in ranch/blue cheese is a nice compliment.

I boil my 'dads in clear, cool BR tap water and then sprinkle on some "Slap Ya Mama" after I pull them out and they're still hot. Can't forget the Cane's Sauce! Classic family recipe

I don't dip the crawfish, but like to drag the taters and mushrooms thru some sauce. People who have never seen dip at crawfish boils havnt been to many.

Tiger Sauce or Pickapeppa are both great on fried crawfish.

But it's not, though. Buffalo wings are mass-produced, frozen pieces of meat with small bones in them. And the sauce IS designed to be a complement, not to overwhelm the main ingredient. A more accurate analogy involving buffalo wings would be if you ate your wings on a piece of white bread, with ranch dressing poured on top of it, topped with a half an onion. Then you are somewhat comparing apples to apples.
NOW I'm overthinking it...

I'm not talking about making sandwiches with the crawfish. I'm talking about dipping the tails in dip. And buffalo wings aren't massed produced. I mean the shitty ones (not that they are a delicacy ever) from the frozen section might be. A lot of places make their own fresh wings and sauces. Then you dip that shite in ranch.
Same with crawfish. Dip the shite in a tangy mayo/ketchup sauce to compliment the spicy boil flavor. Like I said, I don't use it all that often, but it certainly isn't bad and definitely isn't used to cover up bad crawfish.

To each their own... but whether people intend the dip to "cover up bad crawfish" or not, that's the end result in my limited experience - it obscures the taste of the seasoning and tail meat.
Enjoy em however you want. As long as I get my hot, spicy, unadulterated crawfish, I don't care about much else.
Now shrimp? Spicy tabasco horseradish cocktail sauce all day, all night...

This is what makes you realize that crawfish is such a cultural thing. It's a huge regional, "my way is better than your" .

boiling water
Posted on 2/18/16 at 10:21 am to zmanthetigerfan
That mayo, ketchup, mustard and seasoning sauce. Gotta have that for any boiled seafood and veggies.
My friends in NOLA don't use any though. Must be a south of hwy 90 thing.

You only dip vegetables. If you dip crawfish, frick you For potatoes, corn, onions, garlic, etc. - ketchup, mayo, Cajun Power garlic sauce, worcestershire, and Louisiana hot sauce.

1/2 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1 small garlic clove, smashed to a paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 drop sesame oil
Mix together. Put a dab of sauce on corn or potatoes.
