"Crab on the Move: Live Crustacean Found Crawling in Supermarket Fridge"

It is normal for live crabs to still be moving even after they have been packed in supermarket fridges. Crabs are cold-blooded animals, which means that their body temperature is regulated by their environment. When they are placed in a cold fridge, their metabolism slows down, but they do not die. This is why they may still be moving their legs or claws.

Of course, if a crab is not moving at all, it is likely to be dead. However, if it is moving even slightly, it is still alive.

Here are some tips for buying live crabs:

Choose crabs that are heavy for their size and have bright, lively eyes.
Make sure the crabs are actively moving their legs and claws.
Avoid crabs that have cracked shells or have lost limbs.
Once you have purchased live crabs, it is important to store them properly. Keep them in a cool, well-ventilated place and do not immerse them in water. They should be cooked within a day or two of purchase.
