You always boil beef but a real chef knows you grill seafood.
@Splinty you are on a tear! Nice job!My wife and girls aren’t around so I’m treating myself to something they wouldn’t like anyway...Armadillo Eggs!
Cream cheese, cheddar, honey and my sweet bbq rub stuffed jalapeños; wrapped in ground chorizo; covered in rub; wrapped in two slices of bacon.
Going to smoke these later over cherry, and glaze with a blend of bbq sauce, maple syrup, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Will try to remember to take a pic of the after, but here is the before:
10% mortality
this was not wonderful. I think it was too many crawfish even with a really big cooler. And two aerators.
I am only doing one sack so I can split them into two coolers. But when I usually do 2-3 sacks this won't work.
Back to just rinsing them the day of

Lids opened or closed?
Water was very cool. It was chilly and breezy overnight as well.
Cooler lid propped open.
Two aerators
One sack in a 120 quart cooler
Hm, I'd think that would have been fine.
It's also possible I missed some yesterday on initial rinse and got a sack with a high dead count.
I will probably try this process one more time. I can only really do it if I have one sack. What I'm doing two sacks I don't really want to spend the money on the coolers and more aerators.
I will say the crawfish is very clean though. So lost some but the remaining ones are properly purged not just rinsed off.
Borrow a cooler from a neighbor! They are so good after a good purge, it's worth it imo, but your dead count seems a bit high.
Good stuff. Enjoy my friend.
Did half the sack and now doing the other half (extra spicy).
I will say they are purged really well. No vein. No dirt on any shell.
Looks great
The after. Sides of a basic cabbage slaw and a spicy creamy southwest poblano potato salad.

Looks baller. I'm inspired now. Going to make some jalapenos tomorrow. I do them kind of like you but I like to half them and spoon cream cheese into each half followed by wrapped bacon.
