Cooking instructions
For King Crab Legs
We recommend 1-2 lbs. of king crab leg per adult; however, those with larger appetites might want to go 2-3 lbs. All of our king crab comes pre-cooked and flash frozen to preserve the rich flavor.
As far as crab leg sizes, here’s what to expect:
- Super colossal size: 1 1/4 - 2 1/4 per leg
- Colossal size: ¾ - 1lb per leg
- Giant size: 1/2 - 3/4 lb per leg
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email us: info@alaskankingcrab.com.
For Fish
One serving typically equals one 6-8 oz. portion of fish. Each pound of fish equals about 2 portions, or slightly more.
In our variety packs, we try to divvy up each piece of fish to equal one portion, though every variety pack will differ slightly.
For Prawns
For one person, plan for ½ to 1 pound of prawns, depending on appetite and what other food you're preparing.

Our Values
With the deepest respect for families that have spent generations on the water, Alaskan King Crab Co. ensures that the seafood it offers is of utmost quality and arrives impeccably.
Why Alaskan?
Our Alaskan King Crab from the Bering Sea is unmatched in flavor and quality. The texture of our legs is more delicate and softer in appearance compared to other crab species. Alaskan King Crab also tends to have a unique “sweet” taste that is unlike crab meat from the East coast.
Bonus? It’s foolproof. All of our king crab comes pre-cooked and flash frozen to preserve the rich flavor. Your order may contain both Alaskan King Crab claws and legs which make for delicious appetizers or a stunning entrée that everyone will enjoy. Give your guests something to talk about!
