King crab legs

King crab or snow crab? King crab is usually $16-19 a pound.
Maybe this quote from another website will help.
It was posted in reference to a previous comment. Most responders favored the king, as more meat and better taste. One poster reminded people that maybe a dozen years ago the Alaskan crab fishermen were throwing the snow crab back as the price was so low were as the king was much higher.
This is true, King crab was even a little more reasonable when I was a kid. A long time ago the Chesapeake Bay Seafood House in Waldorf would do all you can eat King Crab. Even with the better price it was still something the family could only afford to do once a year. I can still remember how good it was though. Now the price is ridiculous due to regulations on how much can be caught per year.
Yea, I know the diff. I was asking if the OP was really seeing King at $5.99/lb. Memories, Dad owned a seafood company. We always had King in the freezer, live hardshell clams/oysters/jumbo shrimp and fresh fish. Used to come home from school and snack on crab legs or shrimp.
That's who the info was for, at that price it would be lower than what they pay the fisherman per pound.

I fell in love at Camp Spring's Chesapeake Bay Seafood House. I was dating a waitress who's buddies would serve us King Crab legs at the all u can eat trout price of $3.75. Paid for 1 pitcher of Bud(free refills) and ate and drank all night for about $20. She knew the way to my heart.

Used to go to the Camp Springs Chesapeake Bay Seafood House all the time. Loved that place.

I have 15 lobsters being delivered on Friday. Can't wait.
Who did you use? We get them delivered a couple times a year or take a road trip.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I haven't eaten them since Fukushima disaster.
But you can use them as mood lighting as well as dinner.

I am so very blessed
A guy at my work took on the effort for gathering requests and getting them shipped down here. I'm unsure of how he made that happen, but I am glad to get the lobsters.
A bunch of us ordered a lot, so I think the total order is probably about 500 lobsters (although that is a total guess on my part). My friends ordered 32, 20, and a few 15 and a few 10's. And those are just the ones that I know of.

If we're talking about the same guy from the same company then we work together and don't even know it! Looks like he's getting almost 700! From what I understand, his family is in the business up in ME. They'll be caught Thursday, shipped to B-More, picked up and delivered to us on Friday.

They had one in Waldorf. I don't recall one in Camp Springs. Whereabouts was it located?
but now one leg feeds a family of four
