You always boil beef but a real chef knows you grill seafood.
10% mortalityCrawfish are purging/aerating....here's hoping I don't lose half of them
How warm was the water?10% mortalitythis 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
Water was very cool. It was chilly and breezy overnight as well.How warm was the water?
Lids opened or closed?
Hm, I'd think that would have been fine.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
It's also possible I missed some yesterday on initial rinse and got a sack with a high dead count.Hm, I'd think that would have been fine.
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.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.
Good stuff. Enjoy my friend.
Looks greatDid 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.

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:
