can live crabs be frozen and cook later
That is, in order to freeze them, either one of two things needs to happen. (1) They should be clean while still live and then the fresh, raw crab can be frozen or... (2) cook them first by boiling them in your favorite crab boil spices for 15-20 minutes in a good rolling boil.et me explain. To answer the question: Yes! you can freeze crab before cooking it but....(the second question) No! you cannot freeze it in the shell without cooking it first. In order to freeze whole crab (in the shell) it must be cooked first.
