Crab legs

My grandmother cooked crab legs Sunday 2/26 and I put a few in the refrigerator. Are they still good to warm up and eat?

    I'd say no. Shellfish/crustaceans are a tricky deal when it comes to bacteria.

    You probably shouldn't. Crab legs in most parts of the country are parboiled and frozen because of the very limited shelf life. Your grandma likely thawed them last Saturday so you have 4-5 days unfrozen. I wouldn't eat them, but I've had food poisoning twice, and it sucks really bad.

    Shellfish should be eaten day of, then thrown away far, far, far from where you will ever smell it.

    I don't think they'll make you sick, but reheating shellfish like that really ruins the flavor/texture. I'd give em the old sniff test, and if they still smell fine use them in something cold like a a crab salad.

    No way, man. Maybe for beef, but crab is seriously not going to last more than 5 days in the fridge.

    What is this I don't even.
