What is the best way to keep our live crawfish alive until we boil?
Keep live crawfish cool/moist between say 40 to 50 degrees F. by using wet towels on top of live crawfish bags. KEEP OUT of direct sun light which can dry them up. DO NOT submerge live crawfish in water to store, they will die! Transport all live crawfish in shipping boxes or in coolers for local pick up. NO direct wind in bed of truck and NO submerged water! Best to cook live crawfish same day you get them or within a 24-48 hour window! POINTER: IF crawfish are kept cool and a few look dead or have straight tails cook ALL of them and then throw away straight tails! If meat falls apart after cooking then that crawfish is no good!
