From a resident expert -----
Most are mild when bought at seafood restaurants. Some local party boilers turn up the heat at private boils. Also, the first batch in the pot is usually much milder. The veggies in the boil is a different story. Taters and corn soak up the spice a lot.
Right now they are about 5 bucks per pound, boiled. After Lent, price drops way down.
Any chance you would share "the secret" to making really good crawfish?
(And be careful- I've spoken to three or four experts- and get varied and conflicting advice- and personally now consider myself "above average" at cooking them)...
Just haven't hit that awsome level yet.
(And to be clear- I like heat- but there's heat and there's flavor, and they don't substitute for each other).
