I usually immediately boil after removing for between 5 to 10 min. I have eaten about 20 claws that I have boiled this year and they all tasted great. After they are done boiling I immediately drop in a salt water bath to rapidly cool down. I either serve them cold or freeze for later. Store bought stone crab claws are typically boiled ahead of time with many commercial crab boats boil the claws on the boat or just on the dock to keep them from spoiling.

∙ 11y agoBOILING THE CRAB LEGS - How long to boil crab legs depends on the size of the legs. If it is the king crab you will boil them 7-10 minutes. If they are smaller legs or a smaller crab you will boil them 5-7 minutes. Some people suggest adding sea salt, lemon or garlic to the water. Drop in the legs (open part first) and boil for appropriate time.
