re: Crawfish boil first timer - a couple questions - please help!
Posted by Joe Razzle on 4/12/21 at 7:50 pm to TBoy
I appreciate all the different info and ideas you all have so generously provided. Thanks for taking the time to help me out!
Was giving snow crabs a look as a possible add in but man they are pretty expensive around here. Definitely going to lean with crawfish and shrimp with all the other fixins plus some hamburgers and hot dogs as a backup plan in case my first time is not the charm : P
Regarding the soak/no soak debate - I've seen videos with people using ice, the boil boss ring or even just shutting off but was thinking about going with the "hose the pot" method as maybe a good, cheap compromise. Sound like a good idea or should I plan on making extra burgers? :lol:

Actually was thinking fresh corn, but not opposed to frozen. Is that better?

Thanks for the great feedback! I've seen folks using snow crab legs on Youtube. Would something like that be better? Didn't realize the other crabs would complicate things so much. Just want to cover myself in case some of the folks don't love the crawfish. Thanks again!
Crawfish boil first timer - a couple questions - please help!

Hello all,
Going to hold my first crawfish/seafood boil for some friends and family and hoped to get some input on if this sounds like enough food or am I way off the mark?
Looking to host about 15 adults + a couple kids. Most have not had crawfish before and/or are not huge eaters so I'm guessing the average eater may be on like the 2-3lb side.
Planning to use a 102 qt pot and a double jet burner (still finalizing my purchase - leaning toward an aluminum King Kooker and a Bayou Classic SP but open to any suggestions!)
Logistics wise, I am probably capped at one 30lb sack of crawfish since I am getting them shipped to me in NJ. Was also planning to include:
15lbs shrimp, ~5 lbs of sausage, ~5 lbs potatoes, about a dozen ears of corn plus things like onions, lemons, garlic. Now my main questions:
1) Does this sound like a reasonable enough amount of food or am I off the mark?
2) Do you think this is going to make it all in one pot? As a 1st timer, really want to try and keep it simple and everything one batch.
3) Lastly, and assuming we are good on #2 - was thinking about including some blue crabs as I know some of the folks like them, even if only a few dozen. If that would be too much, could maybe cut the crawfish and shrimp to accommodate, maybe something like 25lbs/12lbs/few dozen crabs?
Sorry this was so long, but wanted to include any info I thought might be important. Appreciate any feedback, thanks in advance!
