How do I cook a live King Crab?
Cooking a live King Crab is fairly straightforward. You can boil, steam, or bake it. Here’s a simple method: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt and any desired seasonings, then carefully lower the live crab into the water. Boil for about 10-12 minutes per pound. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before cracking and enjoying the delicious meat inside.
How can I tell if the King Crab is fresh?
Freshness can be determined by several factors. Look for lively movement in the crab’s legs and claws, a strong ocean smell, and vibrant coloration. Fresh crab should also feel heavy for its size and have firm, unbroken shells.
How many servings does an 8 lb live King Crab provide?
An 8 lb live King Crab typically yields around 4-6 servings, depending on portion sizes and appetites.
Can I freeze the King Crab if I don't use it all at once?
Yes, you can freeze cooked King Crab for later consumption. Ensure it’s properly wrapped to prevent freezer burn, and use within a few months for the best quality.
Are there any special tools I need to crack open the King Crab?
While specialized crab crackers can make the task easier, you can also use kitchen shears, nutcrackers, or even a hammer wrapped in a towel to crack open the shells.
How long can I keep a live King Crab before cooking it?
It’s best to cook the live King Crab as soon as possible after receiving it. However, if kept refrigerated, it can remain alive for a day or two before cooking without sacrificing quality.
Is there a difference in taste between live and pre-cooked King Crab?
Some connoisseurs argue that cooking a crab live preserves its natural flavors better, resulting in a slightly sweeter and fresher taste compared to pre-cooked crab. However, both options can be delicious when prepared properly.
Can I order live King Crab for delivery?
Yes, we ship live King Crab directly from our tanks on the West Coast to ensure maximum freshness. However, please note that while we take great care to keep the crabs alive in transit, we cannot guarantee live delivery.
