Do you purge your crawfish?

[flounder_smacker]

ive been using salt for years and im pretty sure it works. i rinse them in a ice chest sack at a time with just water until the water is clear. then i add a can of salt. the water gets noticeably dirtier. when my crawfish are cooked when you eat them you dont get a grit in the vein.

Heinen's Boil-n-go in Lake Charles has purged crawfish, he has several big aerated vats in his shop. Heinen washes them in a mild citric acid wash to clean the outside and then purges for 24 hours, go try them you can tell the difference.
