I’d eat them, then curse myself as I’m shitting out my intestines. But that’s just me.

I have been baking crab with a garlic butter and boil seasoning and it’s amazing. No more soggy

Don’t boil, steam them
Yes, they look bad

Hell no, they’re still too hot!
Seriously though, don’t eat those.
Take them back to wherever you got them.
Most places around here will replace the product And give you your money back for stuff like that.

Take that back, unacceptable to sell something so low quality.

You steam those if you dont want crab soup when you crack those open.

Idk how many of these people catch and eat crab. They pinch eachother when they are tanked/stored together, resulting in these “bruises.” open the legs, look st the meat. Its probably fine but you will know once you crack then.

Trust your nose and have a backup roll of toilet paper at the ready if you try them.

I processed many millions of crab at my old plant in Newport over 40 years. You are describing classic under-cooking. There is an enzyme in crab blood that turns blue/black soon after being cooked if not at a full boil long enough, first in body meat and will follow veins down into leg meat. Not harmful but not very appetizing to look at. You need to start the cook time AFTER it reaches a boil and maintain a steady boil, during the process. Sections (halves) require about 15 minutes, whole crab at least 20-25 minutes. Putting them in ice while hot could cause spoilage by trapping the heat in an ice blanket situation. Allow them to cool to room temp prior to icing. Chalky crab have a white off-color to the meat. They lack flavor and texture as will crabs that are dead for very long prior to cooking.

did they look like that when you bought them, or after you started boiling them?
asking because you’re supposed to steam crab and those come precooked. you only have to heat them up.

You steam and dip in salted lemon butter.

My fav way to do crab legs is baked in the oven. Wire rack, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Why did you boil them

One thing I’ve found useful in telling if the crab is bad. If you get a smell similar to ammonia coming from a cluster then do not eat that cluster. If the meat inside looks fine and doesn’t smell then go for it you’re not eating the shell.
