Who’s got the best auce crab legs?

[retiredguy123]

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

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

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

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.
