Is the ice down/drain method used for crawfish sufficient for crabs as well?

How long do you need to keep them alive?

Just keep them cool and let the water drain. you can put them on top of the ice as long as they don't get submerged. Also, put a wet towel on top of them will help as well.

No ice water, it will kill them. Ice is fine...

Always iced em down and let the water drain. A coma-toast crab can't hold its breath.

Don't hang a chicken neck in front of it.


Seriously though, I do the same as mentioned 10 times above. Where you going?

These guys are correct.

You could always don a pair of garden gloves and pet them on the stomach. It does make them a bit nippy, though.
