I’m doing a 150lb burl today. Let’s go baaaaaby. We use asparagus, mushrooms and broccoli in our boil too. The asparagus and broccoli pulls in so much flavor
Yeah baby love me some crawfish. You do it just like my dad taught us to do. I miss riding the boat picking up the traps, going back home and it’s on. ❤
I'm here just because I'm tryna see if you do anything that my folks in Baton Rouge don't do👀🤣😂. And to support you if course😅🤗🥰. Keep up the great work!!
I have no urge visiting america. Except for this one thing. I rally wanna go and eat this with a group of people who've known eachother for years and just sit there and enjoy life.
I love that boiling pot with hinged basket. I'm old and don't do the big boils like when younger. 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.
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!
We are from Jacksonville Florida and everything you put in your crawfish boil is what my husband puts in our seafood junkpot. Thanks for the great tips now I just need to find out who here sells love crawfish Congratulations on your TH-cam channel
I’ve got to compliment you on your great speaking voice. Clear. Concise. Easy to understand. I appreciate your rationales regarding your preferences. Your crawfish boil must be something your family really looks forward to, YUMMY!! Your family is very blessed to have you as a personal chef!! Well done, Sir.
Sorry about the weird comments, Chef! This is a classic N'awlins crawfish boil, and I'd eat it any time. I always like oranges in the boil and the frozen corn idea is a good tip. And your crawfish bisque was super!
This is great. I just said I've never had a seafood boil and wanted to try it. Someone told me to learn to make my own and then I saw this. And this is a good tutorial. Plus you're funny lol I mean by your humor and honesty
This looked so amazing. I never thought about onion and garlic in the boil. That garlic is gonna be sooooo good!!! I wanna do this next season. Thanks for the tips!
I definitely learned a lot and never really knew all the steps that went into making a good crawfish boil. Thank you so much for that step by step guide from beginning to end.
I still remember that we had got lots of huge crawfishes in the countryside in the 1990s . people even didn't eat them ,caught them and smashed to feed the poultry .Never thought they could sold at high price at today's restraunt and even formed a new industry all over the world
Man, my mouth is watering like the Niagara Falls in Fall. Makes me wanna come around and have a cooking weekend with you, together with some cold beer and cooking chats. Thanks forbsharing. Jost, Stuttgart, Germany
I'm a Texas boy so you know I love my crawfish no I can't cook for s*** but I sure do likes to eat. And Chef you're the first person I've seen clean his crawfish in the cooker so we just have to buy an extra plastic tub just for that ...
Nice video! Is there a reason you add the citrus booster after you cut the fire, instead of below dumping the crawfish in? I wonder if the citrus booster would still dissolved even though the water is not as hot. Does it adds more flavor? Thanks.
When I tell you I hit subscribe SO fast. Omg YUM! I wish I lived somewhere I could get crawfish! I'm going to eat so much on my trip to New Orleans next month.
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 th-cam.com/video/Bt96A575BNU/w-d-xo.html this year. As Chef Alden says, do what you want. Watch a LOT of folks, learn from the old timers...
A friend of mine makes craw fish with Maggi masala (a blend of Indian spices). See if you like it. You'll get that Maggi masala at any Asian / Indian store. Try a small batch first though. I love it.
Here you are! So glad to see you on TH-cam! Right off the bat, got me drooling over my phone wishing I had some good crawfish! 😂 Love your recipes. You make me think I might be able to cook like that. Keep the goodies coming❣️ God Bless you and yours ❤️
when cooking next time add sour cream or cream, this will remove the swampy smell and give a tender creamy taste, also add fresh dill and parsley, you can also add cilantro
Thanks for this video! It does looooook good. I don't live in the south and imma be honest, I don't think my friend did this right because I want to eat yours lol.
Just what I been waiting for!!! Agreed! I will never understand adding raw season to the outside of the crawfish once its cooked. We ain't eating the shells!
I wish some of these comments weren’t so negative. This young man is doing something positive and therapeutic to some
I’m doing a 150lb burl today. Let’s go baaaaaby. We use asparagus, mushrooms and broccoli in our boil too. The asparagus and broccoli pulls in so much flavor
I forgot about the mushroooooms!!! I love mushrooms in a boil. I didn't even eat any this year I totally disappointed myself. Lol
Lord I was born and Raised in Louisiana and this made me miss home! Thank you for bringing a piece of home to me in the Midwest!
Thanks for taking the time to redo the deleted parts! Love the commitment 👏
Yeah baby love me some crawfish. You do it just like my dad taught us to do. I miss riding the boat picking up the traps, going back home and it’s on. ❤
Finally....I've watched a lot of ...how to ....from Louisiana.....your is in my top 5 now .....thank ya brother

Been eating crawfish all my life too. Been cooking crawfish for years. Yet, I still learned something today. Especially the boil booster.
I'm learning from this channel every day!
Glad to hear it!
Can't wait for the crawfish bisque video !
Welcome - this is awesome stuff! I don't know anyone else doing this kind of stuff on here. Love my boil with TONS of garlic

Hi, got to say this is making my mouth water and stomach grumble..looking delicious
Beautiful job! Making me hungry!
I love the south! i'm from up north, i can guarantee the average northerner does not see that many bay leaves at once
LOL

Add the citrus after the boil, so the flavors do not evaporate.
Yes DAT D&D smoke sausage grew up on that
Oui !
Looks incredible!!!
Thanks a million for letting me know,I really appreciate it.

this year.
As Chef Alden says, do what you want.
Watch a LOT of folks, learn from the old timers...
Whoa!!!! I've never seen the tail pulled with the vein thing like that.
Practice makes perfect!
Now you know the clean way to eat crawfish!!!
@@Flychefaldenb right. Now I have to get some this weekend.
@@beverlydykes8578 yes. I normally pull it out after cracking and peeling...Alden's way makes more sense to me. Gotta try it out now.
This was so worth it! Thank you. Also would you use the same process for blue crabs?
Yes, crabs boil a little longer though. About 6-8 minutes before soaking
Thank you!
What a cutie! Glad this channel came across my feed! 👍
Did you throw in the sausage and potatoes in when you put in the corn?
That looks really good. I have yet to try it yet amazingly!
Wow Looks Delicious! 😋
Next time you have to try some! 🤎
Looks good. You should try to make the Swedish version. I’ll promise it’s delicious!

Not the Double D sausage. Man, I miss home.
SO NICE REMINDED ME OF MY MOM COOKING A COW FEED.
Boy we know how to eat here in the south, Arkansas here. Nice video bro
I need one of those Pecan shirts!!
Boil Booster is awesome, yes sir...POW!
Great video chef, Thank you.

Right off the bat, got me drooling over my phone wishing I had some good crawfish! 😂 Love your recipes. You make me think I might be able to cook like that. Keep the goodies coming❣️ God Bless you and yours ❤️
Hope you enjoy! 🙏🏽
"If you ain't sneezing, it ain't seasoned" 😂😂
Always wondered about this! Looks amazing!
When you save the crawfish for another dish, do you freeze it in the shell or out of the shell?
I usually peel them and freeze. But you can remove them from the head, bag up the tails in the shell and peel them later
@@Flychefaldenb C'est verite mes ami !
Where did you get your crawfish cleaning station from, the station you wash the crawfish in water with?
Did a good job of getting the crawfish clean.
when cooking next time add sour cream or cream, this will remove the swampy smell and give a tender creamy taste, also add fresh dill and parsley, you can also add cilantro
I enjoy watching you and learned me a thing or two
Do you save the broth for a soup later on.
Alden, a lot of people don’t realize you can pop off the plastic part of the hot sauce bottle to make it pour out faster.
Good stuff. The food and the video.
All I have to say is I love you brother thanks a mill
"and just like my name, you Al-den" man i like that. Finished the video btw
Thanks for this video! It does looooook good. I don't live in the south and imma be honest, I don't think my friend did this right because I want to eat yours lol.
PRESSURE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
You not gon wash the veggies or fruit??
Same thing I said!!!...the crawfish was washed forever but the potatoes were in dirt glory🤦🏾♀️
Potatoes and celery are dirty!
@@janieleverett981 like nah! Lol
Exactly
Extra flavor
Just what I been waiting for!!! Agreed! I will never understand adding raw season to the outside of the crawfish once its cooked. We ain't eating the shells!
You might be doing it wrong... SUCK that head! Get the spice off the outside!
🔥🔥🔥Keep up the good work Bruh!!
Thank you!
This is the best way to clean
Great vid👍 People need to remember that crawfish are also constantly pooping.
Soak the crawfish in saltwater that help. Paul
I am starving NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a very good video
Great video
I wish i could get that in the UK looks amazing
