    Keeping Crabs

    Hi folks,
    I was wondering what your views are on keeping crabs until ready for cooking, say in 4 weeks time.
    Do you put them in an ice slurry and then clean and cook and freeze?
    or put them in a slurry as is, then freeze whole and clean and cook in a months time after thawing?

    regards
    Mike

    Re: Keeping Crabs

    I keep crabs in the freezer after cleaning and cooking them. I usually remove the meat from the bodies and freeze it in plastic bags. Most times I eat the claw meat without freezing it - call me greedy. Sometimes I make crab meat sandwiches and freeze those (the best lunch this side of the moon)

    To clean crabs I remove the shell, pull out the gills and wash away the crud (for the want of the scientific name).

    Treated like this the crab meat keeps well in the freezer.
