To LKJ, I would think the picking refers to crab legs, yes. Just common sense. And also I think any form of crab would work. If frozen is used I would thaw it first or it will take longer to cook in a crock pot if still frozen. Also I think canned crab could be used.

I assume flake and pick applies to cooked crab legs for the meat, yes? Does the already cooked frozen crab work? LKJ
