Crab meat is harvested and processed in industrial plants. When crabs arrive at the plant they are washed and cleaned. After that, the crabs are placed into a large cooler. Workers then boil water in special containers to cook the crabs. The container is called a retort, and crabs steam during cooking. The steamed crab meat is pasteurizedduring the cooking process.
