Approximately how many crabs

Great product

Lightly floured and deep fried at 350 for two minutes a side (make sure to dry them off well first) was perfect for me. Served on bulky rolls with yum yum sauce, lettuce and tomato. Everybody was very pleased

Excellent quality.

Great taste and easy to prepare. This is a good price too.
