Neil, they taste best straight out of the pot mate, I cant help my-self, and pinch the legs.
make sure you plunge them in a ice slurry of sea water after cooking, to stop the process.
They will keep for a few days, put them in a sealed container with a plastic trivet or similar in the bottom so they dont sit in their own juices, I allways clean mine straight after cooking and break in quaters
I do as per Mick, sea water ice slurry when i catch them

Do you guys cook them in seawater or just salted tap water?
allways sea water mate, but its at the end of the street for me.
fresh water with sea salt would do at a pinch I spose, but getting the mix right would be hard.
just bring a bucket of water home with you at the end of the trip?

pfffft, do you guys even have mud crabs in NSW, I thought border patrol intercepted em all at the Tweed
and its only Wednesday, I save my drunken rantings for Friday posts

Yea i just put a handfull of coarse salt in the boiler.
But i don't know about lasting a couple of day's,the last couple i caught didn't even get the chance to cool off.

that was the plan Brian.
Gunna be another trip of dislikes, crab pots in my boat grrrrr and now taking a non fisher so bait in the boat too. Whats next I wonder.
Oh I forgot to mention I got pulled up in the green zone just past lime pocket. They said I couldnt have baited pots on my deck whilst in the green zone. I can understand why but my whole boat is cast deck LOL.
They let me go with a warning. After me explaining the whole dont like crabbing but its what you do to keep the wife happy lol.
