Big Daddy - OCT,
AlaskanC can probably verify (or debunk) this, but I think most king and snow crab has been cooked and frozen since the end of January. Whether or not it's freezer burned depends on how it's been stored, shipped, kept at the retailer and your freezer.
I think freezer burn occurs when frozen food is exposed to air above freezing temps, like when opening the freezer and filling it with warm air.

But if there's ever any question, it's always best to cook anything as soon as possible...unless you're trying to dry age your own beef.
