FAQs

FAQs

What is the flavor profile for Alaskan king crab legs?
+
-

Alaskan king crab boasts a rich, natural sweetness and firm yet tender texture.

How should I cook my Alaskan king crab legs?
+
-

After thawing your crab legs in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours, you can steam, grill, bake, or boil. Learn more here. We suggest rinsing your crab legs in freshwater before and after thawing them. You can also heat your king crab legs directly from frozen; simply add additional cook time to whichever method you choose.

How long can I keep my Alaskan king crab legs in the freezer?
+
-

All of our products will stay good in the freezer for several months. However, for the best taste and texture, we recommend enjoying them within 2-3 months.

What can I expect in my order?
+
-

All products are hand-weighed using a certified scale. We do our best to give you as many full legs as possible; however, orders may also include claws, knuckles, and pieces. Your order will be packed with dry ice to keep every item frozen until it gets to your doorstep.

What’s the difference between Red King Crab and Golden King Crab?
+
-

Both red king crab and golden king crab have a sweet, rich, and luxurious flavor profile. Golden king crab is a slightly smaller species caught at deeper depths. Their legs tend to be a bit pricklier than their red king crab counterparts, so we recommend using a quality set of shears.

How much meat should I expect to be in each Large Golden King Crab Leg?
+
-

The exact amount of meat in each crab leg will vary slightly. We recommend ordering 1-2 lbs per person, depending on appetites and what else is included in your seafood feast!

Is king crab meat healthy?
+
-

Both red and golden king crab boast 16g of protein, ~350mg of omega 3s, and 9.8 mcg of vitamin B-12 per 3oz serving.

Reviews

Anniversary treat

"So difficult to locally find king crab legs. We wanted to celebrate our 50th anniversary with something special. You did not disappoint. The crab legs were deliciously arriving fresh and short time frame. Thanks for making our day special."

— Marilyn C. (5/5)

Spectacular in in size and Taste

"I did a family boil, and a pre-Anniversary dinner. They were perfect in size and sweet in taste. The meat came out of the shell with little struggle. Was the best thing in. The meal. I will absolutely order again!"

— Tracey P. (5/5)

"The knuckles and some of the legs I received were in the molting stage where the crabs were starting to grow their new shells. The meat was tough and rubbery. I contacted Alaskan King Crab Co regarding the issue because I've been a loyal customer for over 15 years. The only response I received was from an AI generated "assistant" stating a human representative would get in touch with me when they were back online. Whatever that's supposed to mean. That was a week ago. I am very disappointed and will be looking for a new company to purchase my future king crab leg needs."

— Paula (2/5)
