It's caught in the deep, remote waters around the Aleutian Islands, and that combination of great depth and clean, nutrient-rich feed gives it a sweeter flavor and a lighter, more delicate texture than red king. If you love king crab but want something a little more refined, this is the one to try.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the deep waters of the Aleutian Islands\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGolden king crab comes from the steep slopes of the Aleutian Trench, where powerful ocean currents push fresh, nutrient-packed water through the island passes and into the Bering Sea. That constant flow means golden king crab feed in some of the cleanest water in the region, and it's a big part of what makes the meat taste the way it does.\u003cbr\u003eOnly a handful of boats in the world are rigged to fish these waters, which is part of what makes golden king crab special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSweeter, lighter, and delicate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhere red king crab is big and bold, golden king crab is prized for a sweeter, more delicate flavor and a lighter texture. It's rich enough to stand on its own with just melted butter and lemon, and it makes a memorable centerpiece for a holiday table or a special dinner at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA carefully managed fishery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGolden king crab is one of the most closely watched fisheries in Alaska. Since 2015, scientists have ridden along on the first trip of each season to survey and document the stock, and that live data sets the catch limits each year, protecting the population for seasons to come. The crab pots are built to protect the fishery too, with mesh sized so juveniles and females can escape easily. A portion of the annual catch is also set aside for western Alaska communities, keeping the people closest to these waters invested in their future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlash frozen to hold its quality\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGolden king crab is held live aboard the boat until it reaches shore. Once landed, it's cooked, cleaned, sectioned, and frozen right away, which creates a protective glaze that seals in the wild-caught flavor all the way to your door. Keep it frozen until you're ready to thaw and cook, and never thaw and refreeze.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alaska Fresh Seafood","offers":[{"title":"1 lb (2-3 legs\/claws)","offer_id":48312846418141,"sku":null,"price":99.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lb (3-5 legs\/claws)","offer_id":48312846450909,"sku":null,"price":189.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb (8-12 legs\/claws)","offer_id":48312846483677,"sku":null,"price":459.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 lb (16-24 legs\/claws)","offer_id":48312846516445,"sku":null,"price":879.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/8967\/5229\/files\/GoldenKingCrabLegs.jpg?v=1785130009","url":"https:\/\/alaskafreshseafood.com\/products\/alaska-gold-king-crab-legs-claws","provider":"Alaska Fresh Seafood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
