Favorite Crawfish Boil Seasoning Brand
Posted on 3/14/24 at 10:36 am

I have always used Louisiana brand crawfish seasoning and I add salt. One bag of regular + can of salt for first batch and Spicy + salt for second batch.
Open to new boil brands and have heard about Chackbay. How does it stack to Louisiana? Does it need additional salt?
What else is out there?

Has anyone tried Crackers yet?

I usually boil 2 batches. The first batch Louisiana powder with zatarains liquid boil. Second batch I add a bag of Swamp Dust and the crawfish come out perfect flavor and spice level, in my and everyone else’s opinion.

Either Louisiana brand or Cajun Land powdered seasoning.
To that, I'll add some more salt and cayenne-----not a lot but enough to kick it up a notch or two since we like them well seasoned.
That is what I use on the first boil of a sack of crawfish up to around 35 lbs.
If there is a 2nd boil of the same size, I'll add half a pack of the above plus a bit more salt and cayenne.
If having to do a 3rd boil, I just start fresh with new water and seasoning, but that is a very rare thing for me.

Start with 3/5 or so of a 5lb tub of Louisiana dry and pint of Zatarains liquid and 1/2 box of kosher salt
Second batch I add the rest of the tub
Additionally I like to add 3-4 Louisiana brand satchets "Boil-n-a-bag" as it adds a clove/allspice flavor (Don't use if bag is broken, will make a mess on your sides)

I like to go with either geauxcreole or cajunland. Cant find geauxcreole everywhere though.
But really I like them all except zatarans pro boil, but I havent used it in a long long time.

1 bag of Louisiana (large)
1 bag of Chackbay
If I can't find Chackbay, then I add 8-12 oz of liquid.
No added salt.

Cajunland.
Always thought about that as a great supplement but not a primary…could be wrong though. Have used it several times.

1 bag of Louisiana Fire
1 bag of Cajun Spicy
1/2 bag of Cajun Spicy Lemon Salt
1 bottle of Louisiana Crab Boil
1/2 bottle of hot sauce
The lemon salt really adds a flavor that everyone asks about.

Either Louisiana brand or Rouses. I really enjoy the Rouses brand boil

Another vote for Geaux Creole. We started using them for our LSU alumni chapter boil up here several years ago and got a lot of unsolicited compliments. Very good flavor but not as salty as most.
I also started mixing it with Swamp Fire for a little more pop, and that's a pretty good combo.
