1. Store in the refrigerator
For crabs just bought, if there are too many to finish, pick several of the liveliest ones, tie up their legs, and put them in the refrigerator's cold storage compartment, keeping the temperature at 5-10 degrees, and covering them with a wet towel to store them. Each day when eating, pick the less lively ones to eat, and the lively crabs can continue to be stored.
2. Store in water
Pick out the liveliest crabs and put them in a plastic basin or plastic bucket, adding water just to cover the crabs. During this time, check the crabs to see whether any have died. Each day when eating, pick the less lively ones to eat, and the lively crabs can continue to be stored. When storing, if the temperature is not high, the crabs can be kept for more than 5 days.
