any time i could afford it - i ate it within about one day. why keep it longer than that?

depends
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.
almost all Alaskan King and Snow Crab are cooked before they are sold....only heating to internal temperature of 145 is necessary. Best done by steaming

Overpowering crab smell; slimy shell; meat no longer firm and/or crusty and brownish where cut from body and lack of taste. All this means crab was either defrosted and refrozen or frozen too long. Discard.
