🦀 Why Winter Is the Best Season for Alaska King Crab
Winter is the prime season for Alaska King Crab, and it’s not just a tradition — it’s about quality.
As ocean temperatures drop in the cold waters of Alaska, King Crabs naturally develop denser meat, fuller legs, and a sweeter, cleaner flavor. These conditions create the premium texture and taste that chefs and seafood lovers look for during the holiday season.
That’s why Alaska King Crab is most sought after in winter and has become a centerpiece for Christmas and New Year menus.
