The first time I saw this was at Nate’s in Addison, TX. The crawfish sucked, no flavor with irritation on fingers from the boil.

Dusters are either not from New Orleans or trying too hard to be different

You dump a bag right in the water?
I mean they’re going to get washed obviously. I was using “bag” as a unit of measurement not literally saying open the sack and dump it straight in

Growing up, this wasn't a thing. I guess it's like "blackened" fish. Just making up stuff to sell.

Hate to break it to you, but most restaurants in south LA dust their crawfish. It’s a cheat that cuts the amount of time down significantly. If done right, it’s not bad, but soaking is vastly superior.
This. I don’t who’s worse, the dusters or the ones freaking out over dusting.

i often ask for a cup of the seafood boil water to dip my crawfish in, because places in lafayette do not season properly or let them soak. they don't mind this at all.

Not freaking out over it but it’s just useless and an objectively inferior way to cook them. Seasoning belongs in the meat I’m eating not on the fingers I’m eating it with. May as well just stick your fingers into the crab boil jar and lick it off.

Yea I’ve never had restaurant crawfish that are any better than “fine” and that’s why.
I’m not one of those that thinks dusting a batch of crawfish is going to absolutely ruin it but if you’re not soaking them then they’re never going to be any better than “fine”.

In the Appalachia mountains dusting crawdads is the only way we eat them. You southern folks are missing out if you don't give them crawdads a light dusting.

Id look around for another recipe and run the process correctly, then the dusting is unnecessary.

I don't get it. It is a waste of seasoning and if you do this than you aren't boiling them right. To each their own ,but a crawfish boil is simple and some people try to do too much imo.

One video I watched, on Cajun Cooking with Hoss, showed they squeezed a shite ton of mustard on them. What a waste

It's pretty funny though. I got a kick out of trying ti wrap my head around how he thinks blackening seasoning is "made up".

The mustard helps the dust stick and adds flavor. I boil, dump in ice chest, squirt mustard, dust, then shake shake shake.

I actually like to season my crawfish BEFORE cooking them.
Never got any complaints.
