Frozen Whole King Crab

About this item

Whole king crab, landed in deep, cold water and frozen within hours of the catch, so the meat keeps the clean sweetness it had at sea. The shell is heavy and spiked, the legs long and thick, and inside them sits dense, snow-white meat that pulls away in generous flakes with a firm, springy bite. King crab asks very little of the cook: steam the legs until they blush red and serve them with lemon and butter, brush them with garlic butter and finish under the grill, or drop the whole crab into a pot for a celebratory feast. It is equally good in a seafood boil, where the shell flavours the broth. Sold as a complete crab with the shell on, which keeps the legs protected and moist through freezing and transport. Arrives deep-frozen; simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
