Brown is the rich darker meat from the body, much stronger in flavour. Fifty-fifty is both in one pot, which is what a dressed crab is made of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a pot keep?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the date on the pot unopened, and two days once opened, kept cold.
