Louisiana Crawfish Co. - How to Boil Crawfish

[@kennethwagster3788]

If you never boiled crawfish, you're gonna hear a thousand different ways to boil crawfish

[@hypsin]

And this one is not one of them

[@walkemdownandkilltheyahh]

@@hypsinwhy?

[@hypsin]

@@walkemdownandkilltheyahh Traditionally, crawfish should be left "soaking" for at least 20-30 min to let crawfish absorb flavors and get seasoned from the inside. That's the whole point of seasoning water. Otherwise, if you pull crawfish right after boiling you're just seasoning it on the outside. Which kinda defeats the purpose because they sprinkle seasoning on top of it anyways. Speaking of the seasonings - using ONLY dry powder is plain wrong. That's just the base. You still have to add citrus (lemons/oranges) and aromatics (onion/garlic) at a minimum. And don't get me started on the sequence of boiling fixings and crawfish... That's like saying you're gonna make southern iced tea, but you're not gonna use tea and will instead triple the amount of lemons. Mahman, you just made lemonade, not iced tea. There is one traditional way of boiling crawfish (with slight variations). And then there are thousand "hold my beer" ways of doing it. Boil it however you want, but be prepared to catch some side-eye from people that know better. And your crawfish will taste like crap.

Hi Sir, am a farmer from Cambodia that try to feed crawfish in here but many times that we fail. May you let me know if we want get more knowledge about crawfish, do you class that can teach us or can we go to visit your farm at us. Very appreciate for you reply.

[@judassantacruz4071]

Justin, awesome videos and congratulations on your channel. Quick question, when do the farms stop sending crawfish out of state?

[@paris6785]

As someone that’s lived in Nola, Lafayette, & TX, I can tell you he’s doing in the way they do it in TX where they dump a bunch of cayenne powder on the shells after they’ve boiled so it burns the hell out of your lips. Gross. The New Orleans way is so much better because the seasoning is in the water and it gets inside the shell when as they soak.

[@keelograham8708]

Born and raised in Lafayette they definitely need to soak but crawfish boil seasoning and just straight cayenne powder is completely different. I like mine soaked and then dusted in an ice chest after because I like the seasoning inside and out. If my lips ain’t burning something ain’t right 😂

[@JayyStewart]

as a Louisiana native we do no claim this channel 😂

[@williewakawhistle9058]

[@geegee386]

I order from y’all a lot love your seasoning as well but what bout if your cooking them in a pot inside the house how long do u cook them for

[@fav13andacdc]

Boiling is boiling. It’s 212 degrees inside and 212 degrees outside.

[@dallashill9181]

2 minutes, like he said in the video. It's boiling water.

[@missvegan1967]

Great content overall! 💯 Nah, this ain't how we do it here in New Orleans!

[@SSgtBigSwole]

Don’t dust your crawfish. You’re just gonna get it all over your fingers. Soaking is 1000x better than dusting. I’ll put my crawfish up against his any day.

[@charlieblack4516]

Is it really necessary to sprinkle seasoning on the crawfish after they are boiled? I don't really care for the excessive amounts of cayenne pepper that some recipes call for.

[@kaniving]

No it is NOT a necessity to add seasoning after..in fact most ppl who really know how to boil crawfish will soak the crawfish, therefore the seasoning is on the inside. There really is no point seasoning the shell.

[@hypsin]

Crawfish should always be properly soaked for 20-30 minutes. "Sprinkling crawfish" tradition started in Houston and is generally frowned upon.

[@donalddesormeaux2904]

I don't eat the shells so i don't see why they should be seasoned

[@dhjin0807]

You guys do wholesale? If so what are the prices and can you ship to overseas as will?? Thanks.

[@dustin3025]

What do you mean by steam? Just let them sit in the cooler with the lid on for 20 min?

[@DixieMorrell-t3q]

yes

[@DixieMorrell-t3q]

OR after they’re done cooking, turn the heat completely off and let it soak before taking it out of the water. either way is fine. it’s just to let the seasonings soak in and make it spicier.

[@AydenBryant-km8ty]

It’s funny that I’m watching this but I’m literally from Louisiana and know how to boil crawfish.

[@user-tx6iy1kl4x]

I’m born and raised in Louisiana and I have never in my life cook crawfish this way the man didn’t even clean the crawfish and he didn’t let them soak please take Louisiana out of this topic this is not how we cook crawfish in Louisiana🤦🏾‍♂️ This got to be some North Louisiana shit

Dang! The comments here are BRUTAL! Give the guy a break! He's just giving a BASIC lesson on cooking crawfish. No need to roast the guy! Sheesh.

[@dannybergeron1023]

This is NOT the typical boiling process that. Way to little seasonin and they were surely bland. Thats why they add on the outside. You didnt even let them SOAK!!!! I dont know where you are from(to the guy cooking) but not from south louisiana

[@maciekills]

No rinse before boil (those must be very clean crawfish), removed vegetables from boil, just corn and potatoes is not enough vegetables (mushrooms, oranges, lemons, garlic and my personal favorite is broccoli), no soak after boil and seasoned the outside?! That’s not New Orleans boils crawfish.

[@MichaelRei99]

I agree with both of you guys. Your lips will be burning and the crawfish will be bland.

[@flysingleton191]

Don’t take notes from this video! You will be totally upset

Straight up

[@OptimusChrist274]

lmao dude I didn't even have to say it. I would go to Hong Kong and eat buffet craws

[@jmaldy67]

Why? Please explain

[@shutupmanful]

@@jmaldy67 He did just about everything wrong. He didn't clean the crawfish near good enough. He didn't season the water hardly at all, you need at least 4 LB of seasoning per 30-35 lb of crawfish and also some hot sauce, liquid crab boil, butter. He didn't put onions, lemons, celery, garlic, mushrooms, or sausage in the boil. You absolutely DO NOT put the dry seasoning on the crawfish afterwards. You have to let them soak for at a minimum of 20 minutes and that's what adds all the flavor.

[@rhondasibley7679]

​@jmaldy67 The frozen corn and sausage goes in for 30 minutes of soak time and cooling down the water; also add your mushrooms and a can of asparagus.This also helps for not burning your lips. Put the seasoning in the boiling pot, not after their cooked, unless you like burning your lips.

[@Jimmystayfly]

Where's the soak??

[@NAY2GAS]

They soak them before they ship them out to people. They use a five step soaking process over the course of three days. So what you get inside that cooler are already cleaned crawfish.

[@ZackryPaul]

@@NAY2GAS I don’t think you know what soak means…
