Preparing crab legs at home is very simple; you just need to use ingredients that enhance the crab’s natural flavors. King crab is cooked at the port and then frozen, so it’s already cooked and only needs our final touch.
This is because otherwise it would spoil in a matter of hours. In our case, we’re going to use butter and lemon to enhance and soften the salty flavor.
King crab has a mild, salty flavor. A delicacy reminiscent of lobster. The abundant meat is very easy to extract once cooked.
