King Crab Legs

Our Alaskan red king crab legs are the most popular king crab legs from Alaska, and possibly the most prized crab legs in the world. They are hailed for their sweet succulent flavor, jumbo size, and snowy white meat.

There's nothing quite like sitting down to a table heaped with steaming king crab legs. You can hardly wait to dunk that first piece of tender crab meat in hot butter!

We offer jumbo Alaska red king crab legs and claws that are pre-cooked and fresh-frozen. We also offer split king crab legs for those of you who can't wait to get to the "yummy stuff" inside!

Serving Sizes

2 pounds of king crab will serve 2 to 3 people easily if you're serving with additional entrees. If you're having a crab feast or are serving a group of crab lovers, 5 pounds would be good for 3 people. Usually around 1 1/2 per person is a good starting point.

Storing and Thawing

King crab arrives in the form of frozen legs and claws. Frozen king crab can be kept in a freezer for several months due to it's protective glaze. To thaw king crab, place it in the refrigerator a day prior to cooking it. Left-over king crab should be kept under refrigeration and used within a couple of days.

Size and Packaging

FishEx has always opted to offer jumbo king crab legs and claws for their quality and meat content. Legs and claws average between 1/2 pound to 2/3 pound each. Legs are packaged in large clear plastic bags making it helpful to store in your freezer. We do not ship broken pieces or tips and knuckles parts, just whole legs and claws.
