Now, I realize a lot of folks in Louisiana will consider this cheating and would never show up at a crawfish boil with one, but hear me out. If it makes a difference in the life of one crawfish lover who finds peeling them disgusting, giving them the chance to enjoy the goodness of crawfish, isn't it worth it?

And for all of the folks who will have something to say about the crawfish in the video having straight tails, this is for you! Read More: Louisiana Fact or Fiction? Can You Eat Straight-Tail Crawfish?

While I couldn't find the link for the crawfish peeler in the TikTok post, a quick Google search unearthed the crawfish peeler for the low price of $14.99. I also found a review of the product, but it's meh.

So what do you think? Is using the crawfish peeler cheating or legit? Send me a message using our free app or email me at erin.bristol@townsquaremedia.com.
