How To Prepare

Since our king crab comes pre-cooked, it's as simple as thaw, heat, and eat. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight (8-12 hours). Then, simply steam, grill, bake, or boil. For a whole king crab, the heat time will be slightly longer than heating up crab legs alone.
Enhance your meal by dipping your crab legs in melted butter with our AKC "Just Add Butter" Seafood Seasoning and be sure to include some of our favorite side dishes.
