freezing crabs for later consumption

[race2929]

what is the right to freeze crabs to eat in the winter months? i always clean my crabs before i steam them. should i cook them and then freeze them or freeze them raw? can anybody hep me with this?

I have frozen crabs after cooking them.  I removed the legs shell and intestines and vacum packed the bodies.  I used them to make crab soup and cakes.   I have frozen crab cakes vacum packed and ate my last this pass march.

They will freeze cleaned and uncooked too,vacum pack or seal very good, there is a process called glazing that will keep them good for a long time............freeze them and put a pot of water in the freezer,just when it gets a good skim of ice on it,break the ice up and dip froze crabs or fish in the cold water and lay out and refreeze
