How long is king crab good before it's bad?
by Pam Morgan

Once you buy a cooked king crab legs from the store...how long is it good in the fridge before eating?
When you buy cooked king crab legs from the store and place them in the fridge for future consumption it's a good rule of thumb to treat them like any other meat you would purchase. We, personally, wouldn't keep them stored in the fridge for longer than 4 or 5 days at the maximum time if we want to enjoy them safely.
With this said, after purchasing king crab legs from the store you should have an idea when you want to consume them. If the date is later than 4 or 5 days, we would take them home and freeze them right away to ensure they're safe to eat later and ensure their freshness.
King Crab Legs are too costly to waste!

I ate some steamed ,spiced crabs last night and the remaining ones were left in an insulated box overnight without additional heat or ice. They were still warm this morning. Question: are they still safe to eat or should I dump them?
Probably just best to dump them. (better safe than sorry). ALL leftovers, especially any kind of seafood should be properly stored (refridgerated/frozen) ASAP.
Can you cook blue crabs the day before serving? Will they stay fresh?
Absolutely! This is always a good idea especially if you are entertaining guests. Be sure to fully cook the crab and then you can either clean them right away or store them whole. My suggestion would be to clean the Blue Crab first after cooking them. That way you can quickly prepare them for serving by simply steaming them or re-boiling your crab until hot and ready!
Also, your blue crab should be just fine in the refrigerator for a day or two, but if you are not going to serve them that soon then be sure to freeze them after cooking them and cooling them down. Vacuum sealing your crab will also help to maintain freshness for months in the freezer.Enjoy!
