	Alaska King Crab

		Alaska king crab is prized by crab connoisseurs around the world. Crab fishermen have become famous in recent years with the advent of Discovery's Deadliest Catch TV series. In 2005, Alaska's crab fisheries were converted from a perilous "derby-style" fishery to a safer, (and longer-lasting) IFQ (Individual Fishing Quota) fishery. This has opened the door for the fresh king crab to become much more widely available than in the past. In addition to seasonal fresh king crab, we offer you ultra-high-quality Alaska king crab as well as our giant Captain's Reserve.

		Crab fishing in Alaska still ranks as the nation's #1 most hazardous job. Brave crab fishermen work in harsh weather conditions and hazardous environments. Please view our king crab fishing gallery to get a close look at this dangerous job.

There are 3 species of king crab in Alaska - red, blue, and golden (brown). Red king crab is the most sought after. The meat is the sweetest, and the legs are always packed full. Please visit our King Crab 101 page to learn more about king crabs.
