maybe canning it then with a pressure cooker.

That would probably work well. We have an Instant Pot, electric, computerized pressure cooker. It makes pressure cooking easy.

Some years ago, Oregon State decided that legal size females were OK to harvest.
You could fill your limit in minutes, not hours.

Ha, my wife actually likes imitation crab. She buys it from time to time to just...eat. Makes my skin crawl. The only crab I eat are ones I bagged in the pots.

Done it many times. Water temps about the same +/- 10 degrees all year. That pic was in seaside. Great crab fishery with no one grabbing them. You can limit in 15 minutes.

Try working on a fishing trawler for 3 or 4 months at a time the clothes you take with you a ruin for anything but working on the boat we would bring them home wash them with pine sol and store them in the garage till next trip to Alaska

When I would go tuna fishn I'd get a pair of those $9 Rustler jeans from Bi Mart and throw em away when I was done. Tuna smell doesn't wash out.

Well we mostly wore sweat pants and sweat shirts under are rain gear so just wash them for next time we had washer and dryer on the boat like I said be up there for months so to buy 20 or 30 new sets of clothing every time was a lot of money to be thrown away

Over on the Eastern seaboard, there was such an abundance of lobster in the 1800's
that it was not a valued commodity and was considered a poor man's food.
Here's an excerpt from Gulf of Maine Research Institute.

"Long ago, lobsters were so plentiful that Native Americans used them to fertilize their fields and to bait their hooks for fishing.
In colonial times, lobsters were considered "poverty food."
They were harvested from tidal pools and served to children, to prisoners, and to indentured servants, who exchanged their passage to America for seven years of service to their sponsors.
In Massachusetts, some of the servants finally rebelled.
They had it put into their contracts that they would not be forced to eat lobster more than three times a week."

The first attempts at commercial canning of lobster was so bad that folks had a saying about it.
"Green in the sea, red in the pot and black in the can"
