I have a friend who has served them at large get togethers for years. He poaches them in beer, then sears them on the grill. Served on a bun with homemade sauerkraut. Mustard on the side for those who want it.
It's always a hit with the attendees.

That is the best guide out there, and has been for years for explaining the potential dangers of high humidity and air conditioning in homes with crawl spaces. But, if you notice they do not give a definitive fix to the problem. They would be liable if you followed their recommendation, and it exacerbated your problems.

I've seen situations where spray foam is used and it helped, and I've seen the opposite occur as well. Open cell is generally recommended for under subfloor use, but it's a crap shoot as to your result. You might get lucky, you might not.

One guy installed exhaust fans with hygrometers built in to turn them off and on automatically. It worked for him. Not so for some others.

It's very frustrating, but each home with a crawlspace is a slightly different situation due to so many variables that can be involved. Narrow crawl space ( under 2 feet), lack of enough vents and improper placement of same, morning sun, evening sun, excess ground moisture, poor air flow under the house due to plantings around perimeter, irrigation of flower beds running back under house resulting in standing water, too much forced air flow, lack of insulation in the house walls, leaky roof, windows or fireplace, clogged gutters, excessive low temperatures being kept by tenants so they can sleep at night (I've seen thermostats set at or below 65° continuously because the wives are having hot flashes).

I have watched floors buckle within two months into a situation where they tent up a foot or more and "pop". Once you begin changing things in a house where things have been at a harmonious balance for years, you can start getting unintended consequences.

I would start with getting more opinions on that new air conditioner you had installed. That is where this all began, and I would think it might save a lot of pain down the road.
