Boiling is the most common way to cook crabs and a favorite for all varieties. 1  Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Make sure to salt it enough so it tastes as salty as ocean water. 2  Add the crabs as quickly after one another as possible, so they cook for the same amount of time.
That is, in order to freeze them, either one of two things needs to happen. (1) They should be clean while still live and then the fresh, raw crab can be frozen or... (2) cook them first by boiling them in your favorite crab boil spices for 15-20 minutes in a good rolling boil.et me explain.
