Fresh Sausage in crawfish/crab boil

Cook it on the grill and leave your damn crawfish alone. Why on earth anyone boils sausage I’ll never understand.

If someone invited me to dinner and I walked in to see boiling sausage on the stove I would not want to eat. And it isn’t even about how boiled sausage tastes…it’s about how it makes everything else, like mushrooms, taste.

Tons of people put that in their boils, but I wasn’t raised like that…

ETA: the downvoters are saying DO IT!

I love sausage in my crawfish boil but I would not do fresh. The casing will be tough and rubbery IMO. Once cooked and all yea boil away id say. I use cheep Hillshire type sausage in my boils or the little smokies.

Right back at ya

Agreed, sausage isn't gonna mess up your crawfish. I don’t want boiled fresh sausage, me, but no reason you cannot do it.

Sausage is the one non-crawfish item that should be in EVERY boil.

Corn, garlic, and potatoes too- but especially sausage.

Depends on the sausage.

If you use a smoked sausage, there’s less fat to render out and alter the flavors of the water.

This. I should know.

Agree wholeheartedly. I can't recall ANY seafood boil I've done or been to that didn't have sausage of some type included.
