I’m from Louisiana. This is the most authentic and best representation of a Louisiana crawfish boil I’ve seen on KZfaq.

Yeah y'all should come to Louisiana. It's "Sportsman's Paradise" for a reason. You could fresh water fish, salt water fish, go crabbing, eat Cajun food and/or Creole food, get you some boudin, go to a couchon-de-lait. There are some beautiful and somewhat diverse state parks where you can rent cabins. And of course get in on a crawfish boil!

Crawfish and crab boils are LIFE. I had the pleasure of going to Maryland, home of the crab, and going to this wild party set up of stretches and stretches of 10 foot tables covered in plastic wrap with giant trash cans at the end of each table. Each station had all kinds of cracking mallets and tools. These big burly guys would just come by ever so often with huge piping hot coolers of crab, crawfish, corn, sausage, the works, and splash it across your table, and everyone you were sitting with would just go to town cracking and snapping and sucking heads, and pulling out meat. I loved it. I could not get enough. Living closer to Louisiana, nothing beats crawfish season. Everywhere you go the offerings are there and its just a damn good time! Not to be dramatic or anything, but if you make it to the states and you don't have BBQ and hit up a seafood boil, you have failed, LOL!!!!!

Frog legs are huge in Louisiana too! They make everything fantastic!

We did a couple of low country boils over the summer here in the Chicago area. My gal is not a fan of crawfish, (it's a texture thing for her,) so we substituted crawfish for shrimp (prawns). We used fairly big (like 16-20 count) uncooked shrimp along with all the other fixings (sausage, taters, corn, etc..) and it came out great. The whole family loved it!

If you come to Houston at the beginning of March you will be here in time for Crawfish Season as well as The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!

I'm from Louisiana and personally, a huge difference in our boils is making sure we use pork sausage..

Hey Jono. Several times I have heard you mention high water bills, but not every place has a water "bill" and of the ones that do, some only charge a fee for having the service to your house, not by the gallon or anything. Others still, have their own well on their property. All sorts of arrangements.

This was fun to view. I enjoy southern food regardless of what it may be. It is just good stuff. My favorite way, although I do enjoy the crawfish boil, is to make a big pot of Crawfish Etouffee. It is so delicious. Thank you for sharing this one.

12:00 Yes, the corn is already cooked and is sold frozen.

The orange is just to add sweetness to the boil. I like adding mushrooms, cauliflower, and so many other things to your boil. We cut pineapple in half and drop them at the very end. That pineapple is so good. Jono, y'all can boil anything if y'all don't have enough crawfish. Crab, shrimp, lobster, or just boil the the potatoes, corn, and all the fixings.

Now for people who can eat seafood we've something called the chicken boil. It's the same thing but instead of crawfish you use chicken pieces like thighs, legs or wing sections. And with a boil try boiled eggs. You'll thank me.

You can use that same big pot to cook a batch of crabs.😋 If you come to Northwest Texas around Henderson or Tyler, you should look up Tia Juanita's Fish Camp restaurant. They have a great Cajun menu. Also they serve a little Mexican like fish tacos.

When we lived in England, I was told they actually had some there. You can also get some from Luxembourg. I'm originally from New Orleans, so grew up boiling seafood, so was going through major withdrawals while living in Europe, lol!

Best food I’ve ever had was in Louisiana. Louisiana and Texas have everything I need

I'm replying to the video about "Exchange Students" in the USA, since I know something about the subject after having helped a young German student who attended a school in Michigan and he had a wonderful time. He actually finished his US diploma in his Junior year of study in the US, and then got his German diploma in what would have been his Senior (4th) year of study, So he did very well. In any event, my area of Northern Virginia has some of the most highly-rated schools in the USA, and the school system welcomes exchange students very enthusiastically. If Garin and Leah are interested, just stop me a note and I will be glad to provide additional details. Take Care!! :D

I've never had a crawfish boil. On the bucket list it goes!

I love me a good crawfish boil. I live in Houston close enough to Louisiana to buy sackful of live crawfish at our fish store. I don’t like adding frozen corn. I prefer the fresh I’ve also added crab and shrimp along with the sausage, the potatoes and fresh corn.

Over here in Florida we do Shrimp Boils.

In Maine, where my parents had a summer home, crawfish was called Crayfish and we had done it the Yankee way (we sweetened it with pure maple syrup). Every region of the US has their own specialties (New England is seafood, maple syrup and maple sugar, desserts, pizza (or apizza, pronounced Ah beets, around the Connecticut River Valley/ Southern Connecticut), hamburgers (which was invented in New Haven, according to the US Government.) and others. New England has some great fish, too. Salmon and Shad run up the rivers in the springtime, some towns have fishing derbys and some have political people campaigning, too. My favorite fish to catch is the Pickerel, they love to fight.

What you seen him cook will only feed 4 maybe 5 people.

Me and my dad years ago used to go frog-gigging I was 10ish ish to 14 and we had these long poles with like a arrow on the end , and you had your rubber boots on knee high , and we would set out to different ponds in the local area at night , so you walk tho these ponds with the old style flashlights , long before LED's and when you see one sitting on a rock or on the shore , you poke them with this spear ( thats where the gigging comes in ) yep I was right > Frog gigging, also known as frog hunting, is a popular activity in parts of the United States, particularly the South and Midwest. Gigging frogs typically involves using a large spear, or gig, to impale frogs in bodies of water and then pulling them out of the water to be cooked and eaten. Me and my dad loved it ( RIP dad 1922-1995) those was the days never to be repeated again Sad but true as I just turned 60 last month .

You "want to eat a lot of seafood and meat" LOL. I keep forgetting that people from other countries don't eat as much meat as we do. When I was in college as an adult the student housing had people from 52 different countries. Every time the groups got together in the common spaces I would bring a big beef roast or ham or something meat based. The friends from Korea always had the roasts staked out and hovered over them. I never realized that beef was so hard to come by in other parts of the world. Some of the folks had never tried turkey before.

Here in CA we would go to the butchers and get some chicken livers and steal our moms stockings to tie the chicken livers in, to catch crawdads... pretty fun.

How long you leave the crawfish soaking (with the fire off) determines how spicy are the crawfish - not just "flavor".

The crawfish looked really good. I'm a little lazy and let the restaurants cook them for me. They usually have clean paper on the table top to catch the mess, and they replace it after every customer. If I want to add crawfish to my gumbo at home, I buy frozen crawfish tails at the grocery store. They are already cleaned, with the shells removed. Good reaction video! Keep-up the good work. 👍

As far as I'm aware, you absolutely can get crawfish imported to Europe from Louisiana. Crawfish season just started in Louisiana, and goes for about half the year (I'm in West Virginia, 1,600+ kilometers from Louisiana, and they're popping up in pre-cooked packages everywhere here). I don't know if you can get them live, but they're still decent. They're farmed down there. Also, I prefer pineapple to oranges in boils like this. It's actually really good with seafood. That, or I'm weird. Also, I feel bad about boiling anything like that, but to eat them you kinda have to. It's not so much about time, it's that the meat often spoils if you kill them instantly vIa some biological mechanism. It's the same with lobster. But I'm with you on that.

In the Northeast we call them crayfish, at least where I grew up 😊

close to how we do it out here but not bad. safe to say depends where you go. we like to soaky soaky aint no 2-3 minutes of soak for craw fish , we start it hot and turn it way down to slow cook and try to extend that last couple minutes a bit, or it taste like nothing other than seasoning that didnt even make it to the white meat. gotta get that taste in there not just on top or sucking the head

This guys does it right. He's much more authentic than the guy in the other video.

Frog legs are really good

If you put a well on your property you don’t gotta pay for that water

Need to review Jolly boys eating them!

Y’all need to come to New Orleans Louisiana

Another word for them is Crawdads.

The only thing I use crawfish for is for catfish bait

Frog legs are like a tender chicken mixed with a mild fish like bass. I liie them best fried like chicken. I've seen a few people tricked into eating alligator or frig legs because they're so similar to chicken, depending on how they're prepared and cooked.

The sandwich with chicken wings there’s not much meat on them, but I guess there is boneless that you can get

I'm in Mississippi. A Cajun from Louisiana taught me how to cook crawfish. It's a lot simpler than what this guy does.

Hey Graham Family, I'm new to your channel, I like your reactions in the videos I've watched. Great stuff, keep up the good work. This looked so yummy, unfortunately for me it's also looks deathly dangerous. I'm highly allergic to all seafood. I think the smell alone would be enough to set me off. Damn it looked so good thou. Big up from Brisbane Australia.

Slovakia has a evasive species law, which will probably prevent you from the importation of American Crayfish into Slovakia! Check before you try, but they may have farm raised crayfish farms…

That garlic is fantastic!!! It gets soft like a paste and you squeeze it on to garlic bread or anything else you have a mind to. Or you can just eat it as is.

Tried frog legs in South Carolina once just to give it a try. Was ok.

It wouldn’t hurt for you to buy the spices from the bbq places you visit if you can get them through customs so you can cook them on your grill or smoker.

If those crawfish only knew what was headed their way in the next few minutes, they'd be screaming. Have you noticed that he's speaking with a rather unique accent? It sounds to me like a Cajun accent. When you visit here, you need to go to Louisiana, but New Orleans isn't at all necessary, since amazing Cajun and Creole cuisine are found all across the state.

I call them crawdads.

Crawfish season isn’t until March.

I’m from Louisiana and I’ve never sucked the heads of crawfish 🦞 I just eat the tail meat, and throw the rest of it away 😊

Hey Jono if you like to fish maybe check out the Outer Banks or southern florida? Southern Florida has just about everything you’d want. I’m more of a saltwater guy and I live going for tarpon,Cobia,wahoo,snook etc…def look into the area as Disney World isn’t far and would do well to make the fam happy!

You should totally do a go fund me.... why not?

Go to New Orleans if you like good food

crawfish is one of those things that you want to love but man its an acquired taste. Its not like crab/shrimp/lobster. Its a heavily seasoned, tiny little piece of snot. People say that if you dont do it right, they taste like mud and minerals but i think thats an excuse. I went to a place that had tons of people raving about how good they were. Its just not for everybody i guess. It just looks so appetizing that i consider it a letdown.

Look up baton rouge or New Orleans crawfish this is pretty close but he still missing the lemon and orange juice…he only added the oranges and lemons but not the bottles of lemon and orange juice…other than that this is pretty accurate

I do not "suck the heads" of crawfish.

I'm from Louisiana I would recommend not to eat the bay leaf you make choke on it

Y'all coming to the states? You're gonna go home 10lbs heavier

I’m confused I have never had crawfish but I love lobster and crabs but it doesn’t seem to me like they’re being much meat and crayfish so it seems like a waste of time

I don't know if you have wild crawfish in your local streams and if it is legal to catch them. If so, you can usually easily catch crawfish with a live bait trap and bait with some fish parts or other fresh meat scraps. They typically feed nocturnally so set the net in the evening and by morning you'll have something. They also prefer shallow (a couple feet) and slow-moving water. BTY, you don't need to cook corn long at all. Just till it is hot. You'll find it much tastier that way.

Dude washed the dirt of his bugs but not his spuds....🤦

You eat the crawfish, corn, potatoes, and sausage. The rest is there for flavoring.

avoid lemon on seafood to strong a flavoring

I love lobster and shrimp and crab, but I HATE "mud bugs"!!🤢🤮

I live "Crawdad" instead. 😊

Not a fan of creek kritters

Here in Delmarva ( the coast of Delaware/Maryland/Virginia) we will send you to jail for boiling seafood 🤮 We steam our seafood. Once you have it steamed you will never do boiled again. I have a Custom Made Crab Steamer Pot . I add Shrimp , 🍤 Alligator sausage, Smoked Sausage, Frog legs, Maryland Corn, Potatoes, Mud Bugs and Crabs . I add multiple seafood seasonings that are local. Not Old Bay. Add two cans of beer or apple juice and just Steam
