You won't get live crabs in February but soft shell maybe frozen
from the past summer. Nothing wrong with frozen seafood.
Frozen crabmeat will last that long and be just as good as
fresh. Don't know about soft shell crabs though. They should
be just as good if offered.

Best to go to a local restaurant and ask about crab, then ask
about fresh seafood that's in season in February. Certainly
clams, oysters and certain fish is in season then.

As far as temp there at that time. Hopefully you will get
lucky with a warm spell. I've had rare temps in the
70's in January for a few days.

February is usually the coldest month of the year though.
