How many pounds crawfish per person?

In South Carolina? Probably 3lbs per person would be plenty. That's me taking into account that you'll have corn, potatoes, mushrooms, maybe some sausage.

We figure 5lbs a person down here.

Yup. Doing all of the above.

Thanks for the feedback folks.

For Louisiana baws/people who regularly eat crawfish:
3lbs for women/kids
5lbs per male

For first timers/casual folks,
3lbs for guys
2lbs for girls

Load up extra on corn potatoes sausage mushrooms as it will fill them up cheaper and they usually eat more of those because they get tired of peeling

3.50 lbs per person

I do a boil every year in Tennessee, this is what I have learned.

5 lbs for someone that lived in Louisiana that is ready to eat some crawfish

1-3 lbs for someone that has not lived in Louisiana that claims to like them, I usually go toward the 1 pound side

Less than a pound for everyone else, they will usually eat more sides than anything. Sausage will tend to be a big hit with them

Add some pounds for yourself for leftovers to make shite with like Crawfish Bisque and such

Definitely sausage not red hots . I love them but it is fire in the hole the next morning . For the soak we like cauliflower and small turnip bottoms . We boil every Sunday so we have tried everything .

My wife and I split 12 pounds at a crawfish joint on Friday night.

Could have had more if we wanted. People make the rookie mistake of eating corn and potatoes with them. That shite is just unnecessary filler.
