Bought some Saturday night. I ate some and they have been in fridge ever since. I can’t eat them tonight. How long are they good for? Thanks.

You’re good. Look at the expiration for picked crabmeat at the grocery store or seafood store. It’s a week out.

Food safety guidelines say 7 days including the day the food was prepared if it was cooked to the proper temperature and cooled correctly. I'd try to eat them before the weekend.

I've never had leftover crab, the closest experience I've had was after boiling some crabs, my BIL boiled peanuts in the leftover crab boil water. After three days, in the refrigerator, they were rancid. Boiled peanuts normally last a lot longer than that.

But before they went bad, that were excellent. Best boiled peanut I ever had.
