Caught in the waters of Bristol Bay and Norton Sound, the true red king
crab is the most prized species of crab in the world. Alaska's largest harvest of red king crab takes place in the waters of Bristol Bay. Roughly
100 boats participate in the fishery and harvest millions of pounds over a period of 2 to 3 months. Alive, red king crab are actually a dark burgundy in color. When they are cooked they turn bright red- with firey-red
highlights on the top part of the shell, and especially around the toes. Taste-wise, true
red king crab is the best in the world. The meat is snow-white, with highlights of bright red. During the season, a growing number of white table cloth restaurants offer fresh red king crab- a sumptuous treat. Succulent, and served steaming-hot, there is no other meal I would rather have!
