Alain,
Freezers (brine and others) have been a source of Listeria contamination. I would not recommend freezing cooked crab and raw lobster tails in the same system.

Subject: Freeze brine system
Dear members,
I would like to check if somebody has any reports or documents regarding
the freeze brine process. A processor ask me if it was possible to freeze
the cooked crab sections in the system and to freeze the raw lobster tails
in the same equipment without change the brine. Can you tell me if there
is no problem with the pathogens like listeria. I would like to have any
information or opinion on the subject if it's possible.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Alain
