Norwegian Red King Crab
Red king crab from Norway's quota-managed Barents Sea fishery: dense, sweet, faintly briny meat carried in legs that can span over a metre, landed with catch certificates and traceable to the vessel. Our lines are processed and frozen at origin to lock in cellular moisture, then held at −18°C in an unbroken cold chain to the kitchen door.

Choose the cut before the quantity
Most buyers overpay by ordering the wrong cut, not by paying the wrong price. Clusters suit a feast where guests crack their own shells; merus and claw meat suit plated dishes with no waste or labour.
Clusters are sold in shell, roughly two to three servings per kilogram. Merus, second phalanx and claw meat are shell-free, so the same weight goes considerably further. Each cut has its own page below.
Frozen at origin, held unbroken
Premium king crab is cooked and blast-frozen within hours of landing, which locks in moisture at its peak. We hold it at −18°C end to end and deliver temperature-logged, so what reaches your kitchen is what left the plant.
Re-frozen crab — product that has broken the cold chain — is watery and stringy. Ask any supplier whether the crab was frozen at origin, and for the landing date.
Questions buyers ask
Which king crab cut should I buy?
Clusters for a shared feast, merus for plating where the crab is the hero, second phalanx for salads and pasta, and claw meat for cocktails, rolls and canapés. Whole or live crab suits a carving or presentation centrepiece.
How much king crab per person?
As a main course with crab as the hero, around 400–600 g of clusters per person. Shell-free cuts such as merus need less weight for the same servings.
Is Norwegian king crab the same as Alaskan?
Both are red king crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus; the name refers to the fishery, not the species. Grade, cut and cold chain decide eating quality more than the ocean named on the box.
