King crab is commonly known as Alaskan king crab and cod crab. It is large in size and has particularly long legs. I believe that foodies are familiar with it. It is a high-end food. In fact, it is not a real crab. It grows in cold waters, which is why the meat of king crab is tender. Because its meat is extremely delicious, it is widely fished and becomes a delicious dish on the table. King crab grows in waters with extreme climates and is difficult to fish, so the price is also extremely expensive. King crab legs are rich in protein, trace elements and other nutrients, which have a good nourishing effect on the body. Eating crabs is beneficial to the recovery of tuberculosis.

The king crabs on the market are all imported, because China and Asian waters do not produce king crabs. Usually there are fresh, quick-frozen, and cooked and frozen ones. The fresh ones are about 280 yuan per pound and are the most delicious. Generally, the meat is plump and tender. Quick-frozen ones depend on luck. It is difficult to tell whether the meat inside the shell is plump and fresh. Some have loose meat inside and are not fresh at all, or even inedible. The market price is usually 70-95 yuan per pound. Cooked and frozen king crabs are steamed on the boat after being caught. This kind of crab is most suitable for ordinary families to eat. After the fresh crabs are cooked and frozen, the taste and flavor are almost the same as those of live crabs. The price is about 115-155. Today, a rich friend of mine had a birthday party. I bought a 4-pound fresh king crab from Taobao and spent more than 1,000 yuan. This price is enough to hold a rich banquet.

There is no roe in the king crab shell, but a little yellow, which can be used to steam custard eggs, which tastes different and salty. The main food is the crab legs and the meat of the lower body. There are many ways to cook it, such as chilled king crab legs, garlic king crab legs, cheese h king crab legs, etc. The lower body meat is steamed in Cantonese style, which tastes very sweet and delicious. We plan to steam the crab body of this four-pound king crab in Cantonese style, blanch the crab legs, chill them and dip them in sashimi soy sauce for consumption.

In fact, the king crab is not only larger in size and looks more appetizing, but its taste and texture are closer to swimming crabs. However, the king crab legs are as thick as a thumb, and one bite of crab legs can fill your mouth. It is very refreshing and satisfying to eat, and it tastes better when it is chilled. Dipping it in sashimi soy sauce is really refreshing from head to toe. It is too luxurious to spend dozens of dollars on one bite.

Generally speaking, the price of king crab is more expensive than other seafood, but this cannot stop those who like to eat it. Although king crab is difficult to catch and has high transportation costs, its meat is delicious and has a unique taste, so it is normal that the price is high. If you want to eat king crab but don't want to spend so much money, then go to a seafood buffet. Many seafood buffets also provide king crabs, which is more cost-effective. However, they are generally not fresh, but may be cooked frozen or quick-frozen.
