Selection of crabs

Fresh crabs usually give off a clean, sea-smelling odor rather than an off-odor or fishy smell. When you select a crab, hold it close to your nose and use your sense of smell to determine if there is an odor. If you smell a fresh sea odor emanating from the crab, then it is likely to be fresh. However, if it smells fishy or other unpleasant odors, then the crab may not be fresh anymore.

When you are choosing a crab, you can gently touch the crab's feet and pincers to judge their strength and vigor. Fresh crabs usually have feet and pincers that are somewhat tight and flexible, and the claws of the crab feet can move freely. On the contrary, the feet and pincers of non-fresh crabs will feel loose, with no firmness, and the claws of the crab feet will have limited movement.
