I’ve boiled crawfish a few times.. my wife is extremely picky, so I trust her opinion..much like all Louisiana women, if they don’t know anything else, they know good crawfish.! Anyway.. a few times I’ve boiled them, and they were amazing, the next time I’ll do the exact thing and they’re not as good. My question is, do you guys taste your water before adding the crawfish? If so what taste are you looking for? Extra spicy/salty? We don’t like crawfish that are so hot you can’t enjoy them, but I know the water should be somewhat over seasoned because the crawfish will soak alot of it up.. kinda like jambalaya how the water should be salty, before adding the rice
