Guidelines for Cleaning and Cooking Crawfish

To ensure the best dining experience, follow these crucial steps for cleaning and cooking:

• Taste Enhancement: Clean crawfish thoroughly to remove any mud and grit, which ensures spices stick better and improve taste.

Start by thoroughly hosing your crawfish, then rinse well before you start your crawfish boil to maximize flavor.

*4-5 lbs per sack is normal dead-loss from January through March and again in June because of temperature changes, molting, and fog. Later on as crawfish shells harden and the weather warms up, dead crawfish should become less of an issue. When the wild spillway crawfish kick in you should expect to see about 2-4lbs a sack. If you receive more dead-loss than this in a sack of crawfish from us, please take a video and submit a ticket on our website. Pictures are not acceptable.
