spinyeel 2 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Noticed Alaskan King Crab for sale at the fish market over Christmas.Men risk their lives to catch these critters and then they are shipped half way around the planet to be sold at $30 a kilo. :dry: Our locally caught Crayfish was $80 a kilo.

Guest Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 They catch thousands of tonnes of alaskan crab each year so i guess there's plenty to go around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jaffa 81 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Afternoon all, yeah I`ve tried it & definitely wouldn`t bother with it again even if it was at $5/kg. Not a patch on blue swimmer/cray or prawns. Cheers ppl Savagelip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 wonder if it taste like bluey or sandy or cray? anyone tried it?Tastes better than blue's and cray IMO especially when fresh we export all our king crab and then import from Alaska :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
