Global Fishing
Calledthekingforgood reason, genus Paralithodes is
indeed a very large crab, with records noting 10-foot extensions
from claw to claw and weights of up to 25 pounds.
The crabs, sometimes known as Alaskan king crab, are
harvested in the icy waters from Alaska to Japan and are
immediately frozen to retain flavor and freshness.The large
pieces of white meat tinged with red found in the spiny legs
are very popular, as are the enormous claws.
Low in fat and calories and an excellent source of protein, this
king of crabs is available year-round, especially through
Costco’s seafood roadshows.
