Sunovabeach 46 Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Am wondering what is the best way to store fresh crabs in the fridge. Do you put in a sealed container, do you back them? How long can you keep fresh crabs in the fridge? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dutchy 451 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Sorry for smart are reply sunofbeach Storing crabs isn't a problem for me. I clean crabs by removing main shell to leave only legs n meat then cook for shorter time less smell no mess less room in fridge Poppa Snake 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Inc. 71 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 If storing crabs I cook them first & freeze them in 2lt ice cream containers with sea water. Just break them into 1/2's or 1/4ers to make them fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knackers 696 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Just saw this. I freeze them raw/green after cleaning for curries etc later. No worries at all. Do it with mud crabs as well. bratko and Squid Inc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
