Quite a few vendors at the International Boston Seafood Show (IBSS) were purveyors of king crabs. I didnt taste any, mostly the displays were not for consumption. That was ok with me because I have never liked these (I prefer blue crabs in Maryland and Texas).
Recently I watched a whole series of TV documentaries called “The Deadliest Catch” which chronicles the huge danger and lives lost in the crab fisheries in the arctic north. After watching that, I respect what they do and I gotta wonder if people who scarf these types of crab have any clue what people go through and how they risk their lives for this delicacy.

Great photos of the crab. I love crab, but it’s not in the budget too often around here.

Totally know what you mean! I do not think I have ever brought home crab to fix. Last time I had crab in a restaurant was back in the early 90s at the Fairfax Crab House in Fairfax, VA
