That was an AMAZING video. I feel like I just took a masters class on how to do boil crawfish. I had NO idea that much went into it. Great job Russ and Jeff!!!
Such an awesome video with two great guys! Well Done Rus and Ricer, and everyone else who had a helping hand. I enjoyed every second of this video and it made me feel right at home! Can’t wait for the next one!
Glad you enjoyed it Darrin! We had so much fun finally getting to hang out!
Man Rus thank you so much for teaching how to do my very own crawfish boil!!! My family and I had so much fun and we appreciate all of your and Derek's hard work to make sure we had a great time down in the Gulf Coast!!! I am thinking about crashing the party next year for the 2023 Crawfish Boil video!!! I have honestly never EATEN so much seafood in one sitting my entire life until that day!! Man that was a memory filled vacation brother and so happy we captured it all on film!! Thanks again brother!!
Jeff it was such a pleasure and so much fun having you and your family down here! We enjoyed it immensely! Glad you got to experience our excellent seafood and got to be part of a real deal Cajun crawfish boil and just enjoy our culture. You and your family are welcome back anytime brother! Thank you for deciding to spend your family vacation down here and sharing it with us!
Derek? Oh ok. Lol!!!! I did a little work, too!
Haha, yes you did
I watch all your content but when I saw ricer on the show that just upped the game. Great job!
You drove over 1,000 miles just to try some crawfish. Now that's what I called Pure determination. Hope you and your family enjoyed it. You about to learn from one of the Masters. Hopefully he told you about is 2 pot Steam and soak method.
Yeah I explained the two pot method. We will do that next time he visits. He will be in for a true treat
@SmokyRibsBBQ I was going to ask about why you weren't doing the two pot method. After watching your previous two videos on the two pot method, you and Keith convinced me that is definitely the way to go. Thanks to your video, the two pot method is the only way we do our crawfish boils here in south central Indiana now. That muddy water coming out of that steam pot is all the convincing I needed. Great video Russ and crew. I can't wait on the next video.
i Miss your vids Ross . always refreshing to see what you doing and wat you love through this Pandemic and politics crap . Keep up the good work . Much love from iraq. God Bless
We're boiling 53# of live Louisiana Crawfish up here in Minnesota on Saturday along with 25# of green mussels and all the rest. I had to come watch your latest again because I'm so excited!

Heck yeah Alton, get your boil on brother! Tis that time of year!
It sure was a tasty looking crawfish boil, and a lot of laughs. Cheers, Russ, Derek, Jeff and Jax! 👍👍✌️
Thanks Dwayne! We had such a fun time. Thanks for checking it out!
Crawfish holds the flavor so much better then other crustaceans
Great video Russ. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video. That was a lot of fun. Good job guys.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Love it.
This was a great video! I was waiting for another crawfish boil!!
Thank you! I've been chomping at the bit to get another one done. Now I'm ready for another one haha
Awesome video guys!!!
We appreciate it Jeremy!
Nice BBQ crew right there.. Love Jeff and Jaxx's channels!
The best!
Awesome boil!! You guys knocked it out!!👍 thanks for sharing, have a great one brother, you all stay safe!👍🍻🍺👊
Hey, thanks so much! We appreciate you stopping by and watching
That was awesome👍😊
Thanks Bobbi, we appreciate you checking it out! We had a blast I'll never forget!
Love this vid, friends, family and good grub! Cheers brother! Oh hell yeah!
Glad you liked it Rob! We had a blast! Cheers!
Yes sir I'd say yal had a large time. I remember walking in the creek turning over rocks as a kid. we can sometimes buy crawl fish a fair amount smaller then the ones you cooked. Thanks for vid Rus
We had a blast Lance! These are actually small compared to the size they will be in April and May, but just as good!
trip of a lifetime
Great video and great cooking... this looks delicious
I always knew you would be the first one to give that 20 20 22 you know the crab and crawfish boil but you didn't use no crab this year and you didn't do any shrimp this year and I love to see you cook your shrimp with your corn and your potatoes what I'm waiting for your next boil we over here in Colorado springs from Biloxi Mississippi loving your video God bless
So happens I released a new shrimp boil video yesterday. Just a basic boil, with no potatoes and corn, but the shrimp turned out so good! I talk a little about Biloxi at the end. Glad you enjoy the videos! Thank you!
That pupper sure is excited for some crawfish. 😋
*Question Rus:*
*With high inflation these days on the cost of food and overall use of propane and travel gasoline, has your video's slowed down a tad?*
*This video made my mouth water!* 🌴👍
If your referring to the frequency at what I'm posting videos, then no. Other things have been consuming my time. Thanks for watching!
Wait! I’ve been watching you all this time and you lived 4 blocks from me in Pascagoula? I was just at Bozo’s last week! Bought a 31 lbs sack and cooked Sat!
Yep I was raised just a few doors east of Bozo’s on Ingalls ave. Lived in Pascagoula until 2005 when Katrina uprooted me. When I came back to the coast 8 months later I moved over to the Biloxi area. I also worked at Ingalls shipyard until this past November when I finally retired. I do this full time now and love it
Another great boil Rus. You to Jeff.
Thanks Gary!
Great video Russ, cant wait for the next one. I'm from the north also so something I have never tried yet. I have done seafood boils but I'm sure yours would 100 times better than mine after watching how much you throw in it.
It's a big pot and holds a lot of water so you can't be shy with the seasoning. This boil was spot on. I think time and experience doing these is the best teacher to really dial that flavor in just right. Thanks for watching and hope you get to try them one day.
Only thing better than the video,helping get rid of all them crawfish and sausage and taters...👍👍
Absolutely!
This video was amazing lol!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Rus ....oh man you hanging with a couple of cool dudes 😎 👌. Of I'm always looking forward to seeing you do a crawfish boil. Thanks for sharing and you guys get your groove on. 🤘!!!ROCK ON!!!🤘
Glad you enjoyed it Stephen! Good times man!
Awesome video! It’s great to see a fellow Wisconsinite getting in on the crawfish experience. Can’t wait till I can get some selects shipped up to the land o’cheese hopefully soon to break in my new High Performance pot!
Thanks so much! Jeff and his family really enjoyed their time spent here. Yeah, April is a good month to get those really nice sized selects! Enjoy!
I'm totally jealous!
Get you some crawfish, thanks for stopping by and watching!
Dang that made me hungry! Never thought about adding olives.
If you like olives you will love them even more after they come out of the seasoned crawfish water 😋
I'm sure!
Trying out green beans instead of olives, thank you for this video! Very informational!
Man you southern boys love your spice😂 another great vid. Waiting for late April or early may to start boiling up here in RI.
People always think it's going to be super spicy, but it would surprise you if you ate them. Crawfish need that much spice to really get into them. They are simply delicious and even a child can eat mine with no problem. Yeah man, get your boil on!
Hey Russ, I just stumbled on your channel. Good times! You seem like a cool dude!
Hey, thanks! Glad you found my channel!
Can't wait to do mine this spring. Sadly for me in Alberta it is illegal for crawfish to leave the place they were caught so I have to settle for frozen.
Oh wow, that sucks! Live crawfish is soooo much better. I guess they are worried about them becoming a nuisance if released in some areas. We just eat them to control the numbers haha
@@SmokyRibsBBQ Yeah It's a damn shame. They are native to one river here but thats it. You can catch em but no live ones may leave the place where they were caught. Considered invasive for everywhere else here. One day I'll make it down south for the fresh stuff. For now I'll have to settle for frozen but at least my taste buds don't know any better at this point haha.
Mannnnnn y’all are making me so hungry! I’ve got to have a boil soon
Good stuff! Nothing I like better. Thanks for watching!
Great video Thanks 👍👍👍💯💯
Glad you enjoyed it
Dang, they look good!!!
From a real Coonass, not a bad job! If you have small kids wo don't eat the bugs, boil them some weenies first! That will keep them busy. You can ride these roads and have multiple ways we cook crawfish. I put lemon juice and orange juice (adds a sweetness) after my veggies are done. If you don't have one of those ring things, use some frozen jugs of water. Push them in when you want them to soak. Another ingredient some use is mustard. It also adds some sweetness and horseradshy flavor some like. But the main key to a successful boil is, PLENTY OF PATIENCE (it's not about speed), BEER AND FRIENDS! POOYAH!!! NOW THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!!!
Lets do this
2 of my favorites! Amazing job guys! I gotta say I'm a tough guy who can handle the heat - those spicy mudbugs scare the &^#@ out of me!
I really enjoyed this video. Was like watching old friends getting together and having a ball. Never had crawfish but after seeing this, would be willing to suck a tail or 2...LOL
Glad you enjoyed it Troy! We sure appreciate you checking it out! Hopefully you will be able to try crawfish one day.
Love this one. I want some of the spicy right NOW! lol Saving your recipe THANKS ;)
Thanks, we appreciate you watching!
Rus, what did you pay per pound this year? I'm planning a crawfish boil in June here in MN and I've seen prices range from $6.99/LB to $7.49/LB.
These were $3.85 per pound, but the price should come down in April and May, unless fuel cost to have them delivered from Louisiana keeps the price up.
What would you recommend if you don’t have a boil boss? Shock them with a bag of ice? I’ve got my second boil coming up this Saturday and wanna do it better than last time
Adding ice is the same as adding water because it will melt and it dilutes the seasoned water. I use to do it, but I could taste such a huge difference in flavor after using the boil boss, but with that said, you can take the seasoned water that you use in your previous boils, and put some in a plastic 1 gallon ice cream container and freeze it. When you get ready to cool the pot, just dip the bucket of frozen seasoned water into the pot just for a few seconds to release the ice from the bucket and drop that block of frozen goodness in. The size of your pot and amount of water will dictate how much to use. I would probably take 2, 1 gallon buckets for a 120 quart pot to drop the temp down fast. I understand that you will probably won't be able to do this because you don't already have it on hand, but it's a good trick to remember for future boils.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ Awesome thank you sooooo much! I had a friend tell me to save some of the water from the last boil so I’ve got two 1 gallon zip lock bags left over in my deep freeze! It’s from last year, but I’m sure it’ll do the trick! Thanks again so much! I completely forgot I did that LOL.
If you just spin that basket. You don’t have to keep stirring it while cooling off and it works faster
Got to move the water not the basket, thanks for watching
@@SmokyRibsBBQ if you spin the basket, because of the matter inside the basket you’re moving the water at a greater rate than if you stir with a paddle. Love your videos.
Rus, in your title it should say “ I try to teach a yankee how to cook crawfish” Jeff isn’t a fast learner . !
🤣😂
What happen to the 2 pot method ? Lol !
Nothing, I still use it most of the time, but most people boil with one pot the traditional way, so on video you will see one pot more than not
me again, so, to cool it down, cant you just put ice in it?
If you don't mind diluting all that seasoned water you tried so hard to create, then do it. Been there done that, this is much much better
You still in Gulfport?
Biloxi
@@SmokyRibsBBQ I'm not far from there at all.
I wonder how much it costs to do a proper crawfish boil?
It ain’t cheap, but the price of crawfish are coming down now. Best time of the year is right now
Are crawfish expensive?
Depends on the time of year. I can get them for .79 cents a pound right now, but at the time of this video they were 3 dollars higher per pound
Seems like a lot of seasoning
Lot of water, they were spot on!
Gunna try it thanks for the video
😛🤪❤❤❤
Don't stay too long
Nothing about purging your crawfish, or throughly cleaning em out. I’m disappointed…
Well you must have skipped through the video, because we plainly show washing the crawfish in our crawfish washer here 1:52 Pay attention! I don't purge crawfish in salt water. No one does that anymore, and there is a good reason for it. It does nothing to clean them out, but it will kill them. A good washing as I did in the video is all you need to do.
I've been waiting for this video! I feel confident do try this out myself. Great job Rus & Jeff!🤘
I think Jeff would be the first one to tell you that anyone can do this. It's all about getting the water seasoned up, and not over cooking them. Thanks for watching Joe!
Nice surprise seeing Jeff in the video along with Jaxx!!!! I was impressed that Jeff handled the 2nd batch! LOL Cheers!!!!
It was great getting to hang out with Jeff and Jaxx Troy! Much fun had brother! Cheers!
Me too T-Roy!!! ha ha
Be sure to check out Jeff's rendition of this crawfish boil, you are gonna love it! th-cam.com/video/Nh34DGyUXNI/w-d-xo.html
Sir. What pot/boiling kit do you recommend?
Hey Rus what an fantastic video! The production on this is as good as I've ever seen on YT.....TV worthy for sure! How cool is it for you and Derrick to hang out with Jaxx and Ricer! That was definitely some awesome crawfish with some awesome friends! Y'all take care over there and have a great weekend!
Thanks Rob! I appreciate the great comments! We all had a blast! Cheers!
I used to watch you years ago and rediscovered you again recently and have been binging the videos nonstop. Keep going Russ your content is always great to watch! Also side note you should try making Biltong which is South African style beef jerky I think you will find it very interesting.
I’m glad you rediscovered my channel again, thanks for watching the videos! My friend Eric from the 2 Guys & A Cooler channel recently did Biltong on his channel. Very interesting for sure!
Lmao! Did I just try and twerk? Awesome video guys and a ton of fun hanging out with y'all....always a blast. Nice editing on this video man and thank you for the shoutout.
LOL, that slow mo made it look a little vulgar haha! I should have sped it up a touch like Jeff did hahaha! Good times brother and so happy you got to come by and hang out!
I don't know if there's anything more beautiful than a pile of cooked crawfish!
One of the best sites in the world for sure! Thanks for watching Ry!
that “boat paddle” looked like a guitar, so, it would have been funny if he held up up like one with music with high tones, like in a concert with the “doodooladute!” sounds. lol
👍
Man I need to get out there and get me some of that crawfish goodness! Looks like y’all had a blast. Good times for sure.
Heck yeah CJ! Right now is the time brother! We had soooo much fun hanging out. I was sad to see it end. Cheers!
Great video!
Thanks!
This has made my week Russ! Great boil. 🦐 🥔 🌽
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching
Now this was a great twist to your crawfish boils! Glad to see you all get together and get a boil on.
Thanks Brian, we appreciate you watching!
I would love to attend one of your boils, you make the process look good 👍
That is fire right there 🔥👍😎🍺
Please excuse the spelling I hit one key and it shows something different.. Frank...
There is a edit function Frank. Just click on the 3 dots on the side of your comment to see it
I like it
Man where is Keith Jenkins you use his method but you're not talking about him anymore what happened
Keith is doing his own thing. He sold out Frog Bone, sooooo, it is what it is. We still talk a lot however.
If you pinch the tail right the poop vein will come out with the shell. Just sayin.
Yes sir it sure will
Rus you guys knocked this one
Out of the park. I’ve never had a crawfish boil and was so envious of the obvious great time you had.
So looking forward to the next two Rus and Ricer Videos.
Keep up the great work!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!
I cant imagine eating my pets lol
Haha!
Can you get that sausage sent mail order rus.. I bet that is so good
Not sure, they may have websites are available elsewhere like Amazon. I haven't looked.
How does he breathe in that pot steam with all that spice in it?
Smells fantastic! I could stand in it for hours haha
Dammmmm, that's a lot of mud bugs. How many did that feed? Anyway it all looked great. Now I have to check out Ricers video. Have a great day 🌤 😀 👍🦞
It was awesome Victor!
I didn't count how many people was there but no one went hungry and had a few to take home with us to enjoy later that night and next day. I love them cold also, just like cold boiled shrimp. Thanks for watching!
We know that length of drive all to well. NW Ohio to central Louisiana,always a Long Drive but worth it!
..
And ya don't get your face near all those hot spice fumes! LoL
Yeah they were wore out, but by time we did the video, they were ready to get it started! So much fun!
Thank you Tus, I love watching crawfish boils on you tube. And you are the first of the season as near as I could tell.... Thank you Frank from montana...PS. Love your videos....
Hi from Henderson, Nevada! Great video as usual! Got to get me some of that boil going!
Got my first well paying job and finally built my dream boiling kit last fall (channel tube pot, boil boss and vortex double jet burner). Now I have people requesting I come cook for their events!!! Just wanted to say thank you 🙏 for all this channel has done and all the advice. I am starting a side business doing shrimp and crawfish boils in East Tennessee.
Awesome! Glad I could help you out! You got all the right tools to produce some excellent crawfish, shrimp and crab boils!
If you don't have a high performance pot to bring it back to a boil within 2 mins of adding the crawfish, how you determine to how long to cook it? Do it is smaller batches to allow a fast recoil and remove from pot? First crawfish boil next week. 60qt regular pot and 30 lbs of crawfish.
That reminds me of the good ol days when my mama did crawfish shrimp boils in the backyard for the summer and the last one in late September mmmm bisquets and gravy to me
Looked like a good time👍🏼🇺🇸🥃
Great collaboration! I love mudbugs and can't wait for the season to open here in Texas.
Thanks, we appreciate you watching!
Awesome! I can only imagine good that smells!!
Great video, gents! Looked like a ton of fun!
Loads of fun Mike! Thanks for checking it out brother!
twooe saxx of crawffishh fiiive pouuunds of swaampfiiirre crawwfish bowwl
You didn’t watch the video
Dam i wish i was there will "YA'll" man that; some good eating !
Another winner love the videos. I’m subscribed to both yours and Dead Broke BBQ loved watching this from both angles!
Thank you, and glad you enjoyed both videos!
Nothing like a big mess of Mudbugs!!
Very cool. Glad I’m not the only yankee that hasn’t had crawfish.
Hope you give ‘em a try sometime
Another great video, I've never eaten a crawdad even though they live in the creek behind my house, I'm gonna have to try that ,looks so tasty.
Thanks, we appreciate you watching! These crawfish are farmed in Louisiana in the rice fields, and we also get river crawfish from the Atchafalaya Basin that's in Louisiana. Those are my favorites!
