Sam's club sells huge king crab legs that are frozen and already cooked. Just heat them in boiling water. I have never seen anything like them in a restaurant.

$25/lb. Serving size depends on the eater, but 1lb of legs is about 1/2 a pound of meat... so maybe 1lb per person.

Jumbo Red King Crab Legs (Priced Per Pound) - Sam's Club (https://www.samsclub.com/sams/jumbo-red-king-crab-legs/prod4570132.ip?xid=plp_product_1_1)

I don't know if Sam's is carrying something different than Walmart, but these are in stock at the neighborhood Walmart store in Colony. I believe the price is $20 for a pound and a half.

Instructions: Keep frozen until ready to use. Serving suggestion: to thaw: quickest: place snow crab under cold running water for 3-5 minutes. Best: place snow crab in shallow pan And thaw slowly under refrigeration for 10-12 hours. To heat: broil: place thawed crab in the shell on broiler rack in the oven. Broil for 4-5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve with melted butter or margarine. Bake: preheat conventional oven to 400 f (200 c). Place thawed crab on a baking sheet And bake for 4-7 minutes. Steam: fill bottom (3/4" in depth) of large stock pot with water. Heat water to a boil. Place thawed snow crab in steam basket And steam in pot over medium heat for about 4 minutes or until crab is thoroughly heated. To serve cold: re-chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes after steaming.

I haven't bought any of these since I read reviews before trying something new. Here is a review:

When we first started purchasing these Crablegs they were absolutely DELICIOUS! Now, I'm not sure what has happened! Are they out of season???? We had received a NASTY batch and I spoke with customer service to request they open the box before I would purchase them again. So, we decided to get back on our WEEKLY routine of Crab from this company until last week. We will not purchase these anymore as it is very disappointing to pay so much for something you love and open the box to Garbage!!! They should make the boxes clear, so you can see what you are receiving. Back to the Seafood counter for crab that we can see before we buy! So very disappointing to have to Toss money and my absolute favorite food in the Garbage!!

There is a big difference between king crab and snow crab. Totally different taste.

[Chatbrat]

The only crab legs I like are stone crabs with a good mustard sauce--we used to walk to a seafood store in Marathon, Fl--they had an arbor press & they would crack the claws--great with their own mustard sauce

I think the other crab legs are too much work for too little meat

The same goes for any lobster under 2 lbs--and I'm talking real lobsters -not longusta

[retiredguy123]

There is almost no work to eat the king crab legs sold at Sam's. They are humongous.

Yep.

King crab only here. :thumbup:

You're right, I wouldn't know the difference. Coming from Baltimore, this is the only crabs I'm really know. Blue crabs steamed in Old Bay served hot on newspaper.

Those are claws, not legs. But they are the best IMO.

I have never heard of auce crab legs, what are they and what would you compare them to? My favorite food ever is Alaskan King Crab legs, closely followed by soft shell crabs. Snow crab is OK, but nothing special. Way too much work for the reward in my opinion, which is why one can find snow crab in all you can eat buffets.

I think "auce" stands for all you can eat. Apparently some people like to confuse you with hard to figure out acronyms. Go figure.

I think I answered the question with the king crabs at Sam's. You just need to buy enough to be able to eat as much as you can.

I knew a fisherman with a license to get stone crab claws and lobsters by diving in Provincetown. For lobsters, at least, this is illegal without a license—they must be trapped. To say they were freshly harvested was to beleaguer the obvious. They harvest the stone crab claws by twisting off one claw and freeing the crab. The claw regrows.

I agree with you. The buffets have snow crab legs and they are not very good.

Okay, here is the answer to your question. All you can eat crab legs every other Thursday at the Lighthouse Point Bar & Grill in Lake Sumter Landing. You just missed them last night.

King or snow?

[retiredguy123]

King or snow?
Lighthouse Point serves snow crab legs.

[tophcfa]

King or snow?

They would have to charge at least $75 per person to possibly make a small profit if they served all you can eat King Crab.

[tomwed]

What do they charge? I found the prices for the rest of the menu but not the daily specials.

It would be worth the charge. Snow crab is not what I like.

[tomwed]

i'll call tomorrow---the other specials on the other days of the week looked good too--

[wendyquat]

Sounds pitiful but I don’t have room in my freezer for all these crab legs. Not sure nough eating them to cook them all at once! They are delish!

[tophcfa]

Their Jumbalia, which is one of the weekly specials, is really good.

Another place is Crabs In A Bucket in Ocala. They have Blue Claw and Stone Crab in season.

How come no one has mentioned Dungenous Crab Legs? Way better than any of those mentioned. I go all the way to Orlando to get them at Joe's Crab Shack.
