King Crab
Paralithodes camtschaticus
The King Crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus), also known as the Red King Crab, is prized for its massive size, delicate texture, and sweet, succulent meat. Its long, spiky legs contain large portions of tender, flaky meat, making it “the” luxury seafood item. Found in the cold particularly around Alaska, Russia and Norway, it has a rich, buttery flavour with a hint of ocean brininess. Its combination of taste, texture, and rarity makes it one of the most sought-after crustaceans worldwide.
