The Alaskan king crab is the largest commercially harvested crab species, distinguished by its impressive size and striking reddish-brown shell covered with protective spines. Each crab boasts three pairs of sturdy walking legs and a pair of claws — one large and powerful for crushing shells, the other smaller and delicate for handling food — offering an abundance of tender, flaky meat. Wild-caught in the pristine waters of Alaska, these substantial king crab legs are prized for their robust flavor and impressive size.
Once caught at sea, the crabs are promptly cooked and frozen to lock in their natural freshness and quality. Seafood Oceano partners with trusted harvesters and processors, ensuring every order is fully traceable and sustainably sourced for your peace of mind.
Proper thawing is essential to enjoy these crab legs at their best. Simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator or under cold running water until fully defrosted. Then bake, steam, or grill to perfection. Serve with drawn butter, fresh salad, and a crisp white wine for a truly decadent dining experience.
