Microwave: Place crab legs in a microwave-safe dish and cover with plastic wrap. Defrost for 10 minutes. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Are Frozen Crab Legs Fresh? Yes. Nearly all crab legs sold are only available frozen. Since crab meat starts to spoil as soon as the crab dies, crab legs are rarely sold raw. Fishing crews catch the king crab and keep them alive in specially designed wells from harvest all the way to the shore. Immediately upon arrival on shore, legs are separated from the body, cleaned and cooked in boiling salt water (this gives the leg shells their color). Cooked crabs are then rinsed in cold water to stop the cooking process, dipped in saltwater to prevent freezer burn and then flash frozen at extremely low temperatures. Flash freezing maintains freshness, preserves nutrients and reduces the risk of contamination. We source from reputable suppliers and our quality crab legs were frozen within a few hours of arriving on shore in Alaska and remain frozen all the way to your door. How To Remove Salt From Crab Legs? Excess salt is usually not a problem but is easily removed. Your crab legs were dipped in saltwater immediately prior to freezing in order to maintain natural freshness. Step 1. Remove the crab legs from their packaging and place in a colander or large pot. Step 2. Run cold water over the crab legs until they have defrosted. The running water should remove excess salt. Step 3. Crack open a leg and taste the meat to see if it is too salty or just right. If too salty, put the legs in a bowl or sink of cold water. Change the water every 10 minutes until the salt is removed. Step 4 (rare). If still too salty, open all the legs and remove the meat. Put the meat in a colander and run cold water over the meat for a few minutes. Pat dry before serving or using in a recipe.
