I wish some of these comments weren’t so negative. This young man is doing something positive and therapeutic to some
Yeah baby love me some crawfish. You do it just like my dad taught us to do. I miss riding the boat picking up the traps, going back home and it’s on. ❤
I’m doing a 150lb burl today. Let’s go baaaaaby. We use asparagus, mushrooms and broccoli in our boil too. The asparagus and broccoli pulls in so much flavor

All this time I’ve been peeling crawfish wrong! Goodness! Thank you for this video!
Thanks for taking the time to redo the deleted parts! Love the commitment 👏
Fellow chef. Love what you're doing. Small suggestion.... Make sure you clean your celery. You spend all that time cleaning the Crawfish just to add the dirt on the celery stalks to the broth!! Otherwise, you're killing it my dude! Keep fighting the good fight!
from australia and never seen this type of dish before except online. looks great for like a family cookout or meal for a special occasion

Best crawfish video I have watched. You nailed it!!!
Now I know what to do for Labor Day!!!! You make it so easy to follow thank u so much!
I love that boiling pot with hinged basket. I'm old and don't do the big boils like when younger. I hate the dog-days of summer when crawfish are outta season. ....always get the tail meat, just look at the package to be sure they from Louisiana or Texas.
Very detailed, step-by-step recipe.
Love this channel! So detailed ❤
Bring that bisque like you do.
Going to try this exact recipe for my first time doing a crawfish boil. Thank you for the step by step How To.
I'm learning from this channel every day!

Absolutely awsome man, dam my mouth is watering. God Bless you bru.
Welcome - this is awesome stuff! I don't know anyone else doing this kind of stuff on here. Love my boil with TONS of garlic
I still remember that we had got lots of huge crawfishes in the countryside in the 1990s . people even didn't eat them ,caught them and smashed to feed the poultry .Never thought they could sold at high price at today's restraunt and even formed a new industry all over the world
Learnt some new things from this. Great video
Looks incredible!!!
Whoa!!!! I've never seen the tail pulled with the vein thing like that.

Beautiful job! Making me hungry!
Thanks a million for letting me know,I really appreciate it.
I definitely learned a lot and never really knew all the steps that went into making a good crawfish boil. Thank you so much for that step by step guide from beginning to end.
This looked so amazing. I never thought about onion and garlic in the boil. That garlic is gonna be sooooo good!!! I wanna do this next season. Thanks for the tips!
I love the south! i'm from up north, i can guarantee the average northerner does not see that many bay leaves at once

Sorry about the weird comments, Chef! This is a classic N'awlins crawfish boil, and I'd eat it any time. I always like oranges in the boil and the frozen corn idea is a good tip. And your crawfish bisque was super!

Man I had pineapple in a boil once. We usually would just do lemons but I never had pineapple. It was amazinggggg
Not the Double D sausage. Man, I miss home.
This kind of food isn't really that accessible in Ireland but I'd love to try it
I’ve got to compliment you on your great speaking voice. Clear. Concise. Easy to understand. I appreciate your rationales regarding your preferences. Your crawfish boil must be something your family really looks forward to, YUMMY!! Your family is very blessed to have you as a personal chef!! Well done, Sir.

I'm a Texas boy so you know I love my crawfish no I can't cook for s*** but I sure do likes to eat. And Chef you're the first person I've seen clean his crawfish in the cooker so we just have to buy an extra plastic tub just for that ...
When I tell you I hit subscribe SO fast. Omg YUM! I wish I lived somewhere I could get crawfish! I'm going to eat so much on my trip to New Orleans next month.

Looks good. You should try to make the Swedish version. I’ll promise it’s delicious!
SO NICE REMINDED ME OF MY MOM COOKING A COW FEED.
Verry good video, keep it up ma man
I think imma get 4 lbs on my way home to watch Snowfall with
This was a very good video
Man, my mouth is watering like the Niagara Falls in Fall. Makes me wanna come around and have a cooking weekend with you, together with some cold beer and cooking chats. Thanks forbsharing. Jost, Stuttgart, Germany
I did the blender for all the onion, celery & garlic this year. Made a MUCH nicer presentation without all the onion flaps laying all over everything. I will not SWEAR that it tasted better, but I THINK it did. It sure did LOOK BETTER. Also, first time I did the two-pot-boil. I finally get to use that big ass aluminum pot I bought 20 years ago with a 2 pot boil... ( we still do a cold wash and sort in a kiddie pool, with 1/4" holes drilled in it. 20+ years for that little thing. Store it in the garage rafters, upside down.) Bugs came outta the shells easier. 1 time is NOT a result, but I'll be trying that for the next few years to see if that remains true... Gonna get my ass up to 3 or 4 soaking pots, 3 or 4 blankets to keep em at 150F, 1 boil pot (the Aluminum one mentioned, in plain water, after all the cleaning as said here... ) Maybe get DONE cooking in 1 hour? ENJOY eating WITH my friends, instead of at the end..... I DO juice my lemon/lime/etc, for the soak. Get a big SS juicer on Amaz, tell your friends they are weak. Fruits get juiced in about 15 seconds. Easy Peasy... Does anyone SOAK in Aluminum? All the acid started making me nervous YEARS ago, just like they say do NOT cook tomato sauce in Aluminum. Just FYI, I followed kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKhtmKNuZ5iofrg.html this year. As Chef Alden says, do what you want. Watch a LOT of folks, learn from the old timers...
Great video
This is excellent content- crawfish boil cooking school
This is the best way to clean
"If you ain't sneezing, it ain't seasoned" 😂😂
PRESSURE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Nice video! Is there a reason you add the citrus booster after you cut the fire, instead of below dumping the crawfish in? I wonder if the citrus booster would still dissolved even though the water is not as hot. Does it adds more flavor? Thanks.

Add the citrus after the boil, so the flavors do not evaporate.

A friend of mine makes craw fish with Maggi masala (a blend of Indian spices). See if you like it. You'll get that Maggi masala at any Asian / Indian store. Try a small batch first though. I love it.
