king crab legs

[Dan-o]

Whatever works for you. It's kinda like buying elk jerky, as long as it's cheap enough.

damn, you had to go there!!  Got me!! Ok, I won’t buy Russian crab, but at these prices, I ain’t buying any crab!!

That was very well played, Skillet.

   Made me giggle.   AND very well handled by both.

Me to sitting down to a fat ribeye and king crab legs makes a man feel like a king with that kind of feast.

Is there another source other than Costco to buy King crab legs?  My mother loves them and I thought I would try to bunch her some. I have a friend that lives in Alaska that I might reach out to and see if buying and shipping them from there is a better option.

King crab is closed for the first time in 25 years.

The US fleet got shut down for Red King crab this year, but they put up a decent Golden (brown) King crab pack.  Tanner and bairdai got cut back 85%.

If you buy king crab this year, please buy the American Golden King.  All Red King on the market this year is Russian.  Since the US shut down it's fleet, the Russians increased their quota (effectively fishing the same crab biomass) and are dumping red crab on our markets.  Russia's moves are pretty devastating on our fleet, and the resource.

Thank you-

I appreciate you keeping us educated on this. I know there is issues going on in the back of my head, but don't have the capacity to track everything to know when issues like this arise. I wont be supporting Russian overfishing and wouldn't have known they did this until now.

Thank you
