Crabs that have been refrigerated for one day can't be eaten after they die, because the dead crabs will still breed bacteria in the process of low-temperature refrigeration, which will lead to the deterioration of crab meat. At this time, it is not suitable for eating, but frozen crabs can continue to be eaten after they die, as long as the crabs don't have rancid smell or crab meat rot.

Can crabs that have been refrigerated for a day still be eaten after they die?

1, can't eat

Crabs that have been refrigerated for a day are dead and can't be eaten. The temperature of the refrigerator is between three and five degrees, which can't prevent the growth of bacteria. At this time, the dead crabs will still deteriorate, which may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort or food poisoning if eaten.

2, the preservation method

It is best to preserve crabs by freezing. First, tie the crab's pliers and crab feet with cotton thread, and then put the crabs into the freezer of the refrigerator in turn. If you think the crab has a strong smell, you can wrap it tightly in a fresh-keeping bag and put it in the refrigerator.

3. Judgment method

Judging whether a crab has deteriorated, we can smell it and see its meat quality. The deteriorated crab will have a rotten taste, and the crab shell is loose and the crab meat is soft and inelastic, while the fresh crab has only a faint fishy smell, and the crab shell is closely connected, and the crab meat is elastic and silky after cooking.
