How to freeze blue crab

1. Start by selecting fresh blue crabs that are alive and have all their legs intact.
2. Thoroughly clean the crabs by removing any dirt or debris from their shells.
3. Boil a large pot of water and cook the crabs for about 10 minutes. This will kill the crabs and make them easier to handle.
4. Remove the crabs from the pot and let them cool down to room temperature.
5. Once the crabs are cool, carefully remove the shells and clean out the insides, discarding any gills or other innards.
6. Place the cleaned crab meat into a freezer-safe container or bag, making sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
7. Label the container with the date and store it in the freezer.
8. When ready to use the frozen blue crab, defrost it in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
