Abstract: Methods are provided for storing and preserving comestible crustacean material, preferably so as to extend shelf life of the same. In one optional method, comestible crustacean material is placed in a product containing space of a storage container atop a platform of a support structure. The storage container includes an internal compartment having the product containing space. The support structure defines the platform for supporting the comestible crustacean material. The internal compartment further includes a reservoir, configured to retain liquid, below the platform. The platform and/or support structure are configured to direct liquid exuded from the comestible crustacean material to the reservoir. Optionally, the reservoir comprises an absorbent material for absorbing liquid in the reservoir.
