Cal 480 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I must be missing something,everytime I have tried frozen crabs they have been pretty ordinary,bit mushy ,and sort of like the flavour has been leached out.Only ever eaten crabs caught myself fresh,and if ever had left over instead of freezing got the meat out and put in a jar of vinegar with a bit of pepper,and eaten on sangas for a few days until gone.But in saying that the frozen ones tried were always some that someone had bought from the market/fish shop,maybe that had something to do with it.

hoopsy 697 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 if freezing crabs cooked or raw take the body shell off and clean guts out pull the dead mans fingers off or they will change the flavour of the crab (worse) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piranha 76 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Don't freeze your crabs Old Salty a mate of mine tried that once and all he got was acheing balls, just go to the doc and get some cream or something ok i'm off to get my mind out of the gutter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barcrusher Sam 1 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Crab meat kept in vacuum sealed bags are still great after 3 months.Just don't wash them in fresh water, put them in saltwater slurry to set the meat.Makes a nice crab meat and sweetcorn soap.Way better than the stuff you get in cans.

RogerG 1 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 If you have so many crabs that you have to freeze them then you are taking TOO MANY!!!! Lay off and leave some for other people.RogerG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
