mud bugs boiled in clean unseasoned water = the best

[Breezy]

i have ever had ! our bud did two sacks last night at a annual chili fest cook off down here near corpus. 5 gallons hot water, 5 lbs. of seasoning that he gets from a place in Katy and 1 gallon of mustard. mix it all up and put in a big cooler. he boiled bugs in clean clear plain water and dumped in the mixture when done. let them soak for 20-30 mins then eat. holy cow was it good. never have heard of it being done like this but its the only way i want it done from now on. that good ! boiled potatoes, mushroom and corn as well.

The mustard trick must be from good ol boys here in Katy. They are very good.

nope i just drank beer and ate about 10 lbs. several guys that have been cooking bugs for years all agreed it was the best they have had. one guy boils tons for oilfield customers said he was doing like this from now on.

I was doubting but now I'm jonseing

The hot bugs going into a cooler full of not so hot seasoned water will make them draw in the seasoning. I season boil mine and then soak in another tub of seasoned water before putting in the cooler. Way better and juicy!
