Wild Cooked Golden King Crab Sections Per Lb.

Wild Cooked Golden King Crab Sections are large crab sections with legs still attached, harvested from Alaskan waters and fully cooked before freezing. Golden King Crab is the smallest of the three main types of King Crab wild caught in Alaska, with a distinctive golden-orange shell and milder flavor compared to Blue or Red King Crab varieties. These sections contain less meat than Red King Crab but offer excellent quality at a more affordable price point.

The crab is flash-frozen immediately after cooking to preserve freshness and flavor. Since these sections are pre-cooked, they only need to be steamed or gently reheated before serving. The legs have more prickles than other king crab varieties, so care should be taken when handling. Golden King Crab meat is sweet and succulent, perfect for special occasions like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's celebrations.

For best results, thaw crab sections slowly in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours. Steam for 4-6 minutes until heated through, or bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes brushed with butter. Serve with melted clarified butter and fresh lemon wedges. The crab comes from a well-managed, sustainable Alaskan fishery overseen by state and federal agencies with strict quotas to ensure healthy population levels.
