Live Red King Crab

The red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) is famously difficult to catch. Adult males, which are the only ones suitable to eat, seek out deep, cold waters; 200 meters or more below the surface. After reaching maturity at the age of two, they only venture into shallower waters to mate. They are thought to have a lifespan of up to 30 years, and a fully grown red king crab can have a body width of 28 cm and a leg span of 1,8 meters. The name refers to its colour when cooked. In life, the red king crab tends to be burgundy.All our products are graded to customer requirements. We do supply Live red king crab, via international air routes.
