Preparation Instructions

  • Storing & Thawing: You can store this fully cooked crab up to two months if kept frozen. Once thawed, you can store your crab three days in the refrigerator. Important, keep frozen until used, thaw under refrigeration at 38°F or below. For best results, do not refreeze. Preparing: You can simply thaw your crab and serve chilled. If you prefer to warm your crab, there are a variety of ways to reheat it. Steaming, boiling and baking (we recommend 275°F) are among the most common. Usually, under these methods, crab takes only 5 to 7 minutes to cook. Be careful not to overcook your crab, as it will reduce the texture and taste.
  • How to serve your Alaskan Golden King Crab: The traditional way to serve Alaskan Golden King Crab is with a simple accompaniment of drawn butter. Our favorite: Crab Captain's Vinaigrette! Mix ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 6 TBSP rice wine vinegar, 1TBSP chopped garlic and 1 heaping tsp poppy seeds; stir or shake well. Enjoy!
  • Setting the table for your Alaskan Golden King Crab: Eating crab should be fun and informal (that's the Northwest way!). Cover the table with butcher paper or layers of newspaper and have plenty of napkins on hand. Finger bowls filled with hot tea and lemon slices will clean sticky fingers admirably (the tannin from the tea and acid from the lemon slice right through the fat in the crab).
