Safe to eat crab?

I have some "bodies" that I cooked last Saturday that have been in a very cold refrigerator, safe to make crab cakes? They smell ok...

We wouldn't recommend eating crab after being in the frig. for over 3-5 days. However, since they "smell ok" it's really your call! If you use them to make crab cakes, be cautious via eyes and nose. At any first sign of spoiling, we highly recommend you stop and throw them all out. However, if you are picking through the meat and all looks and smells crabby-fresh and the meat is still very cold, then, don't waste anymore time...enjoy those crab cakes!
