Why is king crab so delicious?

King crab is now a high-end species among seafood. It is very honorable to serve king crab on the table for guests. The first time I ate king crab was ten years ago. A friend who was in the aquatic products processing business gave me some king crab legs as a gift during the Chinese New Year. The first time I saw such a big crab leg, my two-year-old son called it a "sea spider."

To be honest, the cooked and frozen king crab legs did not have the fresh and sweet taste that seafood should have, and the meat was loose and not firm at all, but it was considered fresh at the time. Although it is not as delicious as the swimming crabs and hairy crabs we often eat, it is better because it has more meat. It's a bit like eating processed "crab sticks". It can be said that the taste is not directly proportional to the price. Later, I ate fresh king crab several times, but as it is a relatively expensive seafood, it was a novelty when I ate it. King crab has more crab meat than ordinary crabs, but it is not as sweet as swimming crab. King crab is not that delicious, why is it so popular? People who often eat seafood know that if the seafood is eaten directly after being caught, it is the most delicious and flavorful time. If it is transported with artificial oxygen, the taste will be quite different. Especially for shrimps and crabs, the more they are raised, the more they become empty. This is why many fishmongers vigorously advertise that the seafood they sell is not oxygenated.

King crabs are generally sold in two ways: cooked and frozen: cooked and frozen king crabs usually have mostly crab legs, and the price is not too expensive now. But it is heavy, so the selling price is higher. People who often eat seafood should know that no matter how frozen crustacean seafood is, the meat quality is not as good as fresh. Live: This is only available in high-end hotels and boutique seafood shops, so the price is naturally high. But think about the king crabs caught from the sea thousands of miles away. After such a long period of not eating and breeding, they will naturally lose a lot of weight. There is definitely a difference in meat quality compared to when it comes out of the water. Second, why are so many fire products sold at such a premium? Fishing for king crabs is a particularly dangerous job, and not many are shipped to the country. Therefore, people have a consumer mentality of trying new and early adopters, and it is natural for them to be popular. Especially during the holidays. The effect of publicity: King crab is truly caught in pollution-free waters and is truly pure wild seafood. If given as a gift to relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, wouldn’t a big king crab be particularly valuable? I feel that the reason why king crabs are so popular right now is that it’s approaching the Spring Festival! I won’t mention the taste, but king crabs as gifts, whether they are given or received, are considered more “handy”.

Conclusion: King crab is an original seafood caught in the deep sea, and it is hard-earned. Being expensive and popular naturally has its market demand. As for whether it tastes good or not, because king crab is not often made by ordinary families, it may taste a bit different, but I think the king crab with so much meat is quite enjoyable.
