Snow Crab Legs

by Christy
(Phoenix, AZ)

How long can you keep snow crab legs? I bought them from a store and they were cooked and then frozen and shrink wrapped. I must have bought them months ago...are they still safe to eat?
There are dark spots on them but they don't smell bad..

Since they were pre-cooked and shrink wrapped (vacuum sealed) I would say the are definitely still good. The dark spots are most likely a naturally occurring phenomenon that happens to most all crab (King, Dungeness, etc...) and should not be a concern.
We here at Crab-O-Licious have vacuum seal Dungeness and put them in the freezer and have been able to Enjoy! them as much as 12 months later after boiling and freezing them. Enjoy!

There's a special way to tell when crabs are done cooking. 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.
