Golden King Crab

Alaska commercially harvests three species of King Crab: Red (Paralithodes camtschaticus), Blue (Paralithodes platypus), and Golden (Lithodes aequispinus). This product is Golden King Crab, fished in the Aleutian Islands at depths between 600 and 2,000 feet. Goldens are typically smaller than the famous Bristol Bay Reds but carry a deeper, sweeter, more buttery flavor that many seafood professionals prefer.

Worth knowing about King Crab: the Bristol Bay Red King Crab fishery was closed entirely from 2020 to 2022 due to a steep population decline. The Golden King fishery has remained one of the more stable Alaskan crab stocks, which is one reason it is increasingly the King Crab you will find in good fishmongers. All three species are managed under Alaska's 3-S system: size limits, male-only harvest, and seasonal closures. Pots weigh 600 to 800 pounds each and are set in extreme conditions.

On the Plate

Each leg averages about a pound. The meat is firm, thick, naturally sweet, and rich enough to stand on its own with just butter and lemon. We cook the crab at sea or dockside, then flash-freeze and glaze for shipment. Steam or warm gently from frozen. Save the shells for stock.
