Our red king crab legs should be kept frozen until you are ready to prepare them. We recommend enjoying them within 6 months of purchase.

How to thaw frozen king crab legs: The safest way to thaw wild red king crab legs is under refrigeration. We recommend gently rinsing the crab legs under cold water, placing them on a wire rack over a tray, and thawing them in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours, or overnight. Keep your thawed red king crab legs refrigerated until you are ready to serve them. We recommend consuming them within 1-2 days of thawing.

Our wild Alaskan Red King Crab legs are fully cooked before being flash frozen. You can simply thaw and enjoy as is. This is actually our favorite way to eat it - just dip it straight into melted butter or a homemade cocktail sauce. If you prefer it warm, you can gently reheat using one of the methods below, being careful not to overcook.

Thawing

We recommend thawing king crab legs slowly in the refrigerator.

  • Rinse the ice glaze off of each leg gently with cold water
  • Place the crab legs on a wire rack over a rimmed tray or cookie sheet
  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap
  • Allow to thaw for 12 to 24 hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator

Once fully thawed, king crab legs are best enjoyed right away, but they may be kept in the refrigerator for up to one or two days.

Reheating

  • Grill
    Heat the grill to medium high heat. Lightly brush the crab legs with olive oil and place directly on the grill. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until the crab meat is warmed through.
  • Steam
    Fill a large pot about one third full with water and bring to a boil. Place the crab legs in a steamer basket over the boiling water and cover with a lid. Heat gently for 3-5 minutes.
  • Roast
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the crab legs in a shallow baking pan and add approximately one eighth inch of water to the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 4 to 6 minutes, until just heated.

Avoid high heat or long cooking times, which can dry out the meat.

We source wild seafood primarily from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, and occasionally from other U.S. fisheries. Our seafood is harvested from carefully managed fisheries using responsible fishing methods such as trolling, longlining and pots, depending on the species and fishery.

Our seafood is processed in the United States and never sent overseas for processing. It is flash frozen close to the time of harvest to protect flavor, texture and quality.

Wild seafood grows in its natural habitat and feeds on a native diet. The result is seafood with exceptional flavor, naturally occurring nutrients, and a direct connection to the waters and fishing communities it comes from.
