A small fishery, and a short season.
This is Red King Crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) from Southeast Alaska. The legs are thick and heavy, and the meat comes out in long, sweet, snow-white pieces.
Bristol Bay's 2026 catch limit is 16 times larger than Southeast Alaska's. Few sellers name where their crab comes from; this box comes from the small one.
Our season allotment is limited. When it's gone, it's gone until next season.
- Size limits: only full-size crab are kept
- Male-only harvest: females go back to the water
- Seasonal closures: the 2026 Southeast season opens November 1
Managed under Alaska's size, sex and season rules, like every Alaskan King Crab fishery.

Fisherman's Journal
Pot-caught. No trawlers.
Red King Crab is caught in baited pots set on the sea floor and hauled aboard. Undersized crab and females are sorted on deck and returned to the water.
Independent fishermen set pots in Southeast Alaska during a short fall season that opens November 1, 2026. Most crab is landed in the first two weeks, November 2 to 13.
