Seriously, she will not go anywhere near boiled crawfish. She despises the smell of them.

Agree 10 pounds is about right. I usually only eat one piece of corn and potato so the sides don't change things for me.

4 or 5 with lots of sides or 10 with no sides.

Also depends on heat. If they are super hot then the number could drop drastically as I fill up on liquid.

I don't drink beer with my crawfish. I find that a big glass of sweet tea goes best with crawfish.

depends on the size of the crawfish, 10 lbs of small/medium crawfish is twice as much actual tail meat than 10 lbs of selects

I am usually only good for 5 or 6 pounds at most. This is coupled with a dozen or so beers before hand and 3 to 4 during eating, then a few pieces of corn and potatoes. I feel like I gain 15 pounds after a crawfish eating for an hour or so until the screaming shits arrive.

When I was younger, and boiled crawfish with my plus-sized buddies I had to learn to eat them fast, or get left out. I seriously think that I can peel & eat crawfish along with sucking the juice out of the head as fast or faster than anyone on this board.

I would not do well at just peeling crawfish for an etouffee, etc., as the use of your mouth would be disgusting for doing this.

I don't suck the head usually, but I can motor through crawfish. I probably peeled 20+ lbs over the weekend. I ate less than half of that, but peeled a shite load.

I made up my own technique and it's by far the best I've seen. Most people watch me do it and try a few, but go back to their old way. IDK why.

Learn how to do this at lightening speed and you've got it.


How to eat crawfish

That bullshite of having to peel the tail is ridiculous. Learn to do the squeeze & suck, no peeling necessary. And, I drink the head juice 2nd, so just ignore this vid. Those crazy coonasses aren't doing it my way.
