Ok...so im unsure what to do from this point.  Ive and caught the crabs and took the claws off and cleaned  out lungs etc. My question is can I freeze first ? Or do I need too cook the meat first than freeze?

Thanks!

I've frozen plenty uncooked and they turn out great.

Were they cleaned first? Or did you freeze whole?  Or does it matter?

I always clean first and I've always frozen them right after.  Everyone has said they taste fresh and couldn't tell they were frozen.

Sweet!  Thanks! I am going to try that.  I caught some yesterday and cleaned and cooked, than froze.  I am going back out shortly when high tide comes in and I think I will try cleaning and freezing raw!  I appreciate your input!

Clean and freeze is OK..I do it all the time.In my opinion it's only good for the sauce and I can tell it has been frozen. The meat is a little mushy but the flavor is certainly there.I also like to stuff and bake, but only with FRESH
