No offense taken nor given. I can honestly say that I have not eaten any crawfish taken from a clear water lake or freestone stream, so I have no basis to even debate or discuss that fine point. Plus I know different species do have different tastes. Yes mud bugs need to be cleaned and purged before putting into boil, if not then your doing the meal a disservice. Maybe you don't have to do that for yours but I find it a necessary step to get most out the taste of your crawfish.
BTw be careful about comparing superiority of one crustacean over another from different parts of the country. For many years when the blue crab population was decimated in Maryland they imported a lot of crabs from Louisiana. They only shipped you fellas the ones they did not want for themselves.
