Buying King Crab
The best way to buy King Crab is to individually select the pieces to purchase instead of buying a frozen, prepackaged box or bagged pieces. They will often put the joints(no legs attached) of King Crab in to bulk out the weight. These are not choice selections, as the meat is small and often the saltiest part of the crab. The best situation is when the King Crab is displayed on crushed ice. That way you can select the legs with the joints attached and not get stuck with pieces.
.Select the biggest legs you can find and a few with the large claws attached for visual impact. The claws, while containing large pieces of meat, are not always the most succulent, juicy pieces. Select legs that are intact, red, and free of marks indicating injury or disease. Legs should be frozen and fresh smelling; not overwhelmingly fishy.
Keep in mind these legs are fully cooked shortly after catching the crabs and flash frozen. Keep frozen until ready to use. Handle with care as the spines are sharp and will scratch you.
