The AK Red King crab is the largest and best tasting of the three commercially available species of King crab. The Blue King crab and the Golden King crab are smaller, less sweet, and not nearly as flavorful. The Red King crab is succulent, sweet, rich, and moist. The meat holds true to its form when removed from the shell, the sections tend to be quite large, and the recovery ratio of meat-to-shell is good.
The Red King Crab is also being fished in Norway to relieve some of the pressures of commercial crabbing in AK, which is rebounding due to responsible fisheries management.
Alaska King crab is sized by according to the number of crab legs in a ten-pound package. Legs labeled ‘9/12’, for example, have between 9 and 12 legs per 10-pound box.
Alaskan King Crab (x-Norway) is cooked while still live to preserve the best flavor and texture. We thaw your frozen Red King crab in a 37-degree cooler and then give it a quickly rinse. It is shipped out to you in a ready-to-eat form, but we recommend steaming the crab for 4 minutes first to bring out its optimal flavor.
