Snow Crab Legs

Recommended Posts

Looking for a good local source besides the big box grocery/Asian stores in Phoenix for QUALITY snow crab legs. The grocery stores seem to have decent quality from time to time but I'm looking for jumbo legs.

Let me know. Because all I know is that most jumbo queens are usually sold to restaurants

Opies!!!

I fished crabs in AK '98-'00. You may need to get ahold of a wholesale seafood co like Snopac or Icecicle foods in Seattle. Comes in 55# boxes, ask for #1 clusters can be mailed overnite, flash frozen. Price not too bad if you have a couple others go in on it with you.

 

PS snow crab season is Jan till Mar, good luck.

Edge, looked it up and icicle bought out snpoac a while back. Gonna give them a call to see what the scoop is. Can't buy directly from the website.

there is an asian market on dobson and elliot called LeeLee. they have aquariums full of live dungeness crabs and also have live blue crabs most times. i like dungeness the best and hard to beat the freshness of a live crab. they are usually about $7 a pound and the big ones weigh around 3lbs.

If you can get to restaurant supply stores, they carry them. Albertsons has some of the better king crab and when they are 12 bucks a lb, from 20lb pick up some extra.

 

Casino AZ north of Bass Pro has all you can eat Wed and Thurs 430pm to 10pm, like 19 bucks. Maricopa Harris Casino has Friday night with a bunch of other things like chicken and steak but get there at 4pm otherwise you wait an hour or more.

To get prime seafood/steaks, you need to befriend someone in the restaurant/ wholesalers, it is worth the effort/expense...
