Serving Sizes

These legs are huge, and one leg could easily fill a single person. 2 pounds of king crab will serve 2 to 3 people easily if you're serving with additional entrees. If you're having a crab feast or are serving a group of crab lovers, 10 pounds would be good for 6 to 7 people.

Storing and Thawing

King crab arrives in the form of frozen legs and claws. Frozen king crab can be kept in a freezer for several months due to it's protective glaze. To thaw king crab, place it in the refrigerator a day prior to cooking it. Left-over crab legs should be kept under refrigeration and used within a couple of days.

Size and Count

These crab legs and claws are massive. Our standard at Fisherman's Express is that each Captain's Reserve leg or claw weighs over 2/3 pounds or more. Many legs will weigh over one pound or more with some claws being bigger than your fist!
