Crab sticks are highly perishable and must be refrigerated promptly. Store them in their original packaging or in an airtight container in the refrigerator, ideally at a temperature below 40°F (4°C). Consume them within 3-5 days of opening the package. Freezing is not recommended as it can significantly alter the texture, making them watery and less palatable. Check the expiration date before use, and discard if there are any signs of spoilage, such as a sour smell or slimy texture.
