Here’s what you’re paying for with store-bought king crab:
- Unstable, fluctuating storage temperatures: with no consistent standard, there’s no way to know if what you’re bringing home for dinner has been safely maintained.
- Uncertain shelf life: store-bought king crab has a long, uncertain journey from sea to store. This can compromise shelf-life standards and lead to questionable quality.
- Undeveloped freezing process: cutting corners on freezing processes and standards sacrifices taste. Everything that happens to your crab legs, from the moment they’re pulled onto the boat to the second you begin the defrosting process, affects the flavor.
