Purge them with salt water. Changing the salt water mixture when it gets muddy. Do this until it stays clean. I use Conecuh sausage, red skin potatoes, and fresh yellow corn on the cob. Mushrooms are good too, if you like mushrooms. You can do your sausage, potatoes, and corn first. Then you can do your crawfish. Zaterain's crab boil(the granular kind) is what I use. It's better than the liquid and the bag to me. Let us know how it turns out. Enjoy!!!
