Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crawfish purge?

Purging a crawfish is a process that removes impurities and the black vein from crawfish. There are many techniques, such as soaking for a long time or using a saltwater bath (which has been proven to be ineffective and unnecessary). Use this crawfish purger to speed up the process!

Do crawfish have to be purged?

Although purging for 24+ hours is a common technique, it’s not required. Some individuals and businesses purge to improve taste, texture, and appearance. As long as the crawfish are thoroughly cleaned before cooking, a true, full purge isn’t mandatory.

How do professional crawfish cleaners work?

Professional crawfish cleaners pump high-pressure air through the water in the crawfish purge tank to tumble and stir the crawfish, which removes dirt, debris, and impurities. A continuous flow of water filters mud and dirt and flows out the drain port to keep the water in the tank clean.
