I think Mr Fish has co\/ered the basics. Li\/e kept in the fridge should be co\/ered with weed or sacking and kept damp with seawater spray kept in the fridge. Do not let ant water build up in the bottom of the tray or they will drown unless you ha\/e a pump. Any dead crab should be remo\/ed as soon as possible. If you are keeping them in a shed garage, I would freeze any that got to the popping stage. Some people go to lots of trouble peelingery bit of shell off and remo\/ing the gills before freezing. I only do this with the larger cabs, the smaller ones I tend to freeze as they are because I'm lazy and hounds or many other species don't seen to care
