Understanding King Crab Sizes: Jumbo vs. Colossal
When it comes to Alaskan king crab legs, size truly matters—and we make it easy to choose the perfect fit for your occasion. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular king crab sizes we offer:
-
Jumbo King Crab Legs:
Typically 2–3 legs per pound, these are thick, flavorful, and perfect for dinner parties or crab lovers who want more manageable portions without sacrificing meat.
-
Colossal King Crab Legs:
These are the largest legs available—often just 1–2 legs per pound. With massive claws and rich, buttery meat, colossal king crab is ideal for indulgent meals, gifting, or when you want to make a bold seafood statement.
No matter which size you choose, every leg is wild-caught in Alaska, cooked fresh, and shipped overnight for maximum freshness and flavor.
Looking for guidance? Jumbo is great for groups or first-timers, while Colossal is the ultimate luxury crab experience. Still unsure? You really can’t go wrong with either.
