Keeping Crab Alive

by Candy
(San Francisco, CA)

Can I keep dungeness crabs alive for 8 hours in an ice chest full of ice?

No. The crabs will not stay alive on ice. Your best bet is to put them in an ice chest with their own salt water from where you caught them and keep the water aerated. If you don't have an aerator, keep bucketing in fresh, cold salt water every now and then to keep them alive.
One other option is to clean those crabs and then you can keep their legs on ice till you can get them home.
