Colossal Red King Crab Legs

Colossal red king crab legs are massive, premium legs from the red king crab, known for their large size, sweet and tender meat, and rich flavor. They are typically wild-caught in the Bering Sea and sold pre-cooked and frozen. A single colossal leg can weigh between 2/3 of a pound and over a full pound, making each one a substantial, satisfying portion.

Size and weight

"Colossal" size: This term refers to the largest legs available, often weighing 2/3 of a pound to over 1 pound each. "Count" system: The size is sometimes described using a "count," which indicates how many legs it takes to make up 10 pounds. A colossal size has a low count, such as 6/9, meaning fewer, larger legs per pound.

Appearance and taste

Appearance: The legs have a deep red color on top and a lighter underside. Flavor: The meat is described as sweet, tender, and succulent, with a high meat-to-shell ratio. Texture: The meat is often described as rich and buttery.

Sourcing and preparation

Sourcing: They are wild-caught in the cold waters of the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska USA and the Barents Sea near Norway. Preparation: They are typically sold fully cooked and frozen, ready to be heated or served chilled. Many choose to simply bake them to allow the crab's natural flavor to shine.

Nutritional value

Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help lower inflammation and reduce the risk of heart disease. Contains beneficial vitamins and minerals like Vitamin B12 and C, zinc, and selenium.
