They freeze fine, but i would use them within a few weeks of freezing them. Wouldn't bother freezing crabs that have bin dead sitting in your bait bin for a day or two, they come out an oozing black stinky mess. I had heard wrapping them individually in newspaper worked well, if you can be bothered with that. How about vacuum packed crabs?. Ive used vacuum packed craytail(VERY GOOD!!).
