1 Year opening of a frozen Dungeness Crab. How will it taste????

[@ScottLaughridge-gf3pq]

Love your videos. I have a question about the vacuum seal bags you use. Every time I try to vacuum seal a crab shell punctures the bag. What is your secret? Thank you. Hope to see you on the water.

Hey Scott, thank you so much Brother!! So I use the Kirkland, Costco brand, because their bags are a little thicker than most I've encountered. If you are using Kirkland, then you might want to look into just using the pulse button on your food saver to vacuum the bag manually, and not allowing it to completely vacuum down! I have had a few of my bags puncture too, and yet the crabs were still excellent!!! So all the protection may come from the crab being completely intact, and not so much the vacuum sealing of the bag! Jury is still out on that!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I’m definitely going to try this method. Good luck on your trip tomorrow. I’ll be out there on Friday.

We will be trying this method this year. We have always cleaned and steamed our crabs and tried to freeze the left over 1/2 sections. They are only good for a couple of months. And so disappointing to have some that isn't that good. How long did you let it defrost for?

[@baldeaglefishingadventures]

Good morning, and thank you for checking out, and watching my channel! I completely agree, it is disappointing after all that work, and in just a few months it's not very good, this method is a game changer for sure!! So I would defrost it for 72 hours in the refrigerator, and you should be good to go!!!!!!!

Opened up some crab that was frozen for 10 months on your recommendation, it was good. Also when outside of Tomales on opening day and got skunked for the first time in several years. It was BAD. Lots of very small one inside Tomales and nothing after two hours on the outside. Hope your day is better.

Hey George, I hope you are doing well Brother!!!! Glad to hear the frozen crab was good! Sorry to hear that it was slow for you! I haven't heard a lot about the crabs out there, so I guess I'm just gonna go give it a shot and see what happens, if nothin else I've got the Wife with me, so it'll be a good day!!!!!!!
