I really need to learn how to cook because those symbols look like something I'd see in my algebra class.

LIVE BOILED!! With beer! I'm particular about my crawfish. I purge them twice and I still won't suck the heads.

Definitely boiled and with a Miller Lite. I'm with rhertz about the no suck rule. I get tired of peeling though. Crawfish bisque is pretty good if you're not watching your cholesterol! Great, now I'm hungry. btw Isaac...I'm not dangerous unless properly provoked...then watch out!

Hey I like them any way I can get them. Boiled with potatoes and corn on the cob or pull the tails off and fry them. I love catching them almost as much. During high water I'll go down on the creek bank with nets, I'll start a fire in a container put a boiler of water on to boil. As I catch them they go into a bucket to purge and into the cooker. I will stay all night catching and eating. Don't get no better than that. Drinks iced down. Man

The best way
If you cook them yourself, you need to fill your pot 1/3 full. This is key. Put 1 stick of butter per 30 lbs. Bring to boil (steam from under the lid) add crawfish, onions, lemons, MUSHROOMS,. Wait till steam comes out, cut off fire. Drink beer or wine, etc., dump in ice chest, season heavily, shake, leave to cool. EAT EAT EAT. The butter makes the meat shoot out of the shell.

Let's put a kick to it. Water, salt, lemons, creole seasonings. When you throw in the corn and potatoes it really puts the seasoning on. The spicest the better. Makes you drink more too. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

One trick I do is to take a pair of old panty hose, cut off the legs, and stuff them with potatoes, corn, onion, etc. This way it is easy to pull out the veggies so I don't have to go fishing for them. I dunno why but some folks question this practice.
