Catches have been low for about five years, so retail prices keep climbing. Buying direct from the wholesaler is how you get under them.

Typical online sellersShipped retail, per pound

$100 to $128 / lb

Costco bulkAbout $80 / lb, but only in 50 lb boxes

~$80 / lb

Requires an approximately $3,500 commitment and a chest freezer

Pacific King Crab Co.Direct from the wholesaler, from 2 lb

$85 / lb

No bulk minimum. Same wholesale-grade product.

Near Costco's bulk price, without the $3,500 buy-in, and $15 to $43 per pound under typical online sellers.

Direct From The Wholesaler

We used to move 10,000 pounds a week. Now we sell to you.

Our founder spent years as a king crab wholesaler, moving up to 10,000 pounds a week to the restaurants and markets you already buy from. He knows what quality crab looks like at the dock, and he knows exactly what everyone marks it up along the way.

King crab has been scarce for about five years. Low catches keep pushing retail prices higher every season. Most sellers pass that pain to you with a middleman margin on top.

Same crab. Same cold chain. One less markup between the boat and your table.

We buy the way a wholesaler buys, clean and split every leg to the half shell, blast freeze at peak, and sell direct. That is the entire business model, and it is why the price is $85 instead of $128.

Cooking & Logistics

Questions, answered plainly

How do I thaw king crab legs?

Best method: thaw overnight in the refrigerator, 8 to 12 hours, in a tray to catch drips. In a hurry? Seal the legs in a bag and submerge in cold water for 30 to 45 minutes. Never thaw at room temperature or in the microwave.

How do I cook them?

The crab is already cooked before freezing, so you are just reheating. Steam thawed legs 5 to 7 minutes, or bake at 375 F for about 10 minutes with butter and garlic. The half shell cut means the meat lifts right out with a fork, no crackers needed.

Where is pickup?

Pickup is in the Los Angeles area. You will receive the exact address and pickup window when your order is confirmed. Bring a cooler; the box comes out blast frozen.

What are the delivery days?

Southern California deliveries run throughout the week. Northern California deliveries go out once a week, so place your order ahead and we will confirm your delivery day.

Do you ship outside California?

Yes. We ship frozen with insulated packaging to other areas. The customer covers the shipping cost, which we confirm before anything is charged.
