Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked. Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat. Join our newletter "Crab Clique"
