    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!

    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.

    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
    ua-cam.com/video/Bt96A575BNU/v-deo.html
    this year.
    As Chef Alden says, do what you want.
    Watch a LOT of folks, learn from the old timers...
