Handling & Storing Your Swamp Crawfish

• Rinse the sack under cold water when it arrives.
• Place the sack in a cooler with the drain open, covering them with a sealed bag of ice.
• Keep them cool and away from direct sunlight until you’re ready to boil.

Dead-Loss Disclaimer: In colder months and June, you may expect 4–5 lbs dead crawfish per sack due to molting and weather changes. In warmer months, 2–4 lbs is typical. If you receive more than this, please record a video and submit a ticket on our website (photos alone are insufficient).

How to Purge & Boil

Purging:

1. Hose down the sack thoroughly to remove surface debris.
2. Empty crawfish into a cooler or tub with the drain open and rinse again.
3. Close the drain, sprinkle a 16 oz. can of salt, and add enough water to cover them.
4. Let soak for 8–10 minutes, then drain and rinse. Repeat if desired for cleaner crawfish.

Boiling:

1. Fill a large pot with water, add the included seasoning, and bring to a rolling boil.
2. Add your belle river crawfish, return to a boil for about 5 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and let them soak for 20–25 minutes based on how spicy you like them.

Serve them hot and get ready to experience the bold, authentic taste of swamp crawfish straight from Louisiana!
