Liven up your menu with an impressive seafood bounty fresh from the Bering Sea by serving these colossal Alaskan king crab legs. Expertly caught in Alaska, these premium king crab legs are steamed in their shells for a striking presentation with unrivaled freshness. You can season them with your signature blend of seafood spices to delight your guests with a traditional crack-and-eat presentation, or process them in-house to create specialty dishes like crab cakes or cheesy crab dip. Plus, since this crab is naturally lean and low in calories, it is a healthy accompaniment to any meal. Let their natural, delicate flavor shine and keep your guests coming back for more.
King crab has a luxurious sweet flavor and tender texture that is similar to lobster. There are approximately 4-7 legs per lb. These crab legs are cooked and then shipped frozen to preserve flavor and freshness. They can be served either hot or cold, depending on the needs of your establishment. You can hand your patrons some tools and let them pop open these delicious and hearty legs themselves, or add them to soups, salads, and pasta dishes.
For the best results, we recommend broiling, grilling, sauteing, or steaming the crabs. Since these are pre-cooked, you only have to steam, boil, grill, or saute the crab legs for about five minutes, or until the meat is warmed. Be sure to use this as an opportunity to add some flavor to these crab legs. Try boiling them with butter and garlic or steaming them with seasonings. A general rule of thumb is that you should have approximately 1 lb. of crab legs per person.
