Do I need to clean the crawfish before cooking?Updated 10 days ago

Yes, absolutely. Before cooking, you must rinse the crawfish to remove mud and waste. Place them in a large tub or cooler, cover them with fresh, cold water, and stir gently. Drain the dirty water immediately. Repeat this rinsing process several times until the water runs mostly clear. Do not leave them soaking for more than a few minutes as they will drown.
