I do these a lot in my catering business and I use a couple of turkey fryers. Also use blue mussels...just my imput

You're forgetting the most important part, at the end you must do a boil over, this is accomplished by throwing a cup of kerosene on the fire.

This gets all the fat and scum that floated to the top out of there.

It should look like this:

Abe, is that place in Fish Creek?? I think we watched this little display when we were there. My DH won't eat fish so we took a pass on the fish boil. I hear it's pretty good though.

Yup, that is downtown fish creek.

Pelletier's or the White Gull Inn? The White Gull Inn also serves a great cream cheese and Door County cherry stuffed French Toast for breakfast.

Do not forget the bay leaves!!!!!!!! They bring out good flavor. Just make sure no one eats one! lol

Heavily salted water, lemons, garlic heads, zatarans bags of spices, extra Zat liquid, cayene.....boiled for a while to get the flavor......

case of paper towels


lots of B red potatoes......nothing like spicy potato salad with a remoulade dressing or vinagrette green onion dressing

your menu reads great!

So. Louisiana the shrimp, crabs, crawfish are whole and purged.....well the crawfish are for sure. There's a way to devein when your twisting off the tail fan to twist just so and pull out the vein, little shrimp it really doesn't matter....it's totally personal preference.
Most boils last hours.......4 hours not unusual. It's pretty much an all afternoon/evening event. Much like a cochon de lait.
