The biggest fuck-up most people make with crawfish is that they don't properly purge them. Eating a poorly purged crawdad is eating mud.

Aside from that they're just tiny lobsters.

well, first cover them with some fresh water in your laundry trough then get some cooking salt (like 2 cups or more) and chuck it in. leave them in there for 10-15 minutes.
then get a pot of fresh water ready - it needs to be boiling its cunt out. chuck them in and cook them for 8 mins. then remove and strain them, they'll keep cooking for a bit cos they'll be hot, this is fine.
then shell them on old newspapers or butchers paper, something you can scrunch up later to contain the mess and chuck in the bin - preferably your neighbors bin cos they'll be fkn ringing in no time.
I prefer them simply with a bit of salt and white vinegar, or more fancy with a decent cocktail sauce.
you could cook them up to make various different things, just treat them like prawns I reckon, or cook them as described above and then add them to the meal last to warm them up.

Crawfish is the proper term. The first documents regarding the organism was spelled that way, so the formal term is crawfish, no matter how much lab and aquarium supply outfits push the term 'crayfish'.
Shrimp are an entirely different kind of animal. Crawfish are a set of freshwater crustaceans that are bigger than most shrimp. Shrimp are also saltwater animals.

My neighbor boiled 60 lbs of live crawfish just yesterday. He purged them in a cooler and set a 15 gallon pot to boil with this stuff, halved lemons, oranges, bulbs of garlic and a bunch of extra cayenne in it. Added the crawfish at boiling and when it came back to a boil shut it off and let them sit for 10 minutes before straining them out. It took 2 batches. Then he boiled some corn, potatoes and mushrooms in it. Damn fine eating.

nah, the original map gets the middle of the country much better. Milwaukee and Chicago in the same category as North Texas and most of the great plains? but not the same category as Minneapolis or Detroit?

The cultural shifts moving north/south through the midwest are much more noticeable than moving east or west. Once you get to Indianapolis or central Illinois people start having southern accents even

This map is pretty complicated and specifically about accents but it does a pretty good job with the eastern half of the country (much of the west doesn't have enough history or people to reflect in accents yet)

Crawfish is a seasonal meme food that people eat once to take a photo and post on social media. 90% of people don't eat crawfish more than once per crawfish season because it is so much work for so little food.

There might be some drug to mitigate that, so maybe take that first before going to the crawfish festival. Of cource look at the side effects, those could be worse.

He's wrong tho. The noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), once abundant in Europe, is the largest species, growing up to 6 inches long.
However, the noble crayfish grows very slowly, so farmers wanted a species that could reach sellable size quicker. The signal crayfish grows pretty quickly, so they farmed it instead of the astacid crayfish.
