I went to the grocery store today to pick up 3 pounds of frozen king crab legs. It took over 40 minutes to get back to my apartment to put them in the freezer. They were still really cold when I put them in the freezer but the wrapping started to leak water from the crab. They are pre-cooked.|||Ideally you should cook and eat all seafoods the day they are purchased.
If the water was from the crab it means the bags were not sealed properly so don't freeze. Cook, and then freeze.
It is however possible it was merely condensation from the package and unless it was a really hot day they shouldn't have thawed.|||You should be fine as long as they didn't completely thaw. Presumably you will be re-heating them soon anyway. Be aware that freezing, thawing and re-freezing will make the flesh a but mushy.|||As soon as they refreeze, you will be fine........a little messy, but ok|||yes they are pre-cooked, after one hour you are fine. You can put them in the freezer again and take out the portion you want to eat, but let it thaw in the fridge, for about 5 - 6 hours before you want to cook them. then cook them in a steam pot for about 35 - 50 min. and the best way to try them, prepare some garlic-butter with kosher salt. cook the butter in a saute-pan chop some garlic mix it with kosher salt ( this is at taste). mix all three ingredients together let it cool at room temperature . get the crab legs and enjoy
