The Colossal Red King Crab Legs from Big Alaska Seafood are huge - Colossal Legs, which are categorized as a 6/9 size, weight between .75 and 1.25 each leg. 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 currently being fished in Norway to relieve some of the pressures of over-fishing in AK, which is currently rebounding. Alaskan King Crab 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. Check out www.bigalaskaseafood.com for more info.
