Fresh King Crab?
Anyone in the lower 48 had shipped before and have any recs? Looked online and only can find one place, most all others offer it frozen.
Only had it fresh a handful of times fresh and god damn it is good....

no help with the rec, but we had this at Bern Steakhouse in Tampa and concur, it is some delectable stuff no doubt. It was a $45 appetizer IIRC.

Call Island Seafood in Kodiak and maybe they can help you. When we are out seining salmon in the summer months we haul a couple pots here n there,,,,,, nothing like fresh king crab.

Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Halibut season is all but done. They close on nov 7th,but most guys are done fishing their Q's. In the summer I could get you all you want but by now all the guys I know are done. Try Island Seafood or another small cannery you can call is Alaska Fresh Seafood, both are out of Kodiak…......remember everyone buy Alaskan seafood

I was told that the problem with crabs, lobster, or shrimp, is that they decompose very rapidly as soon as they die. Not sure shipping non-frozen crab is really going to be much "better" in the long run.

The problem with the Seattle-based companies, Flowing Alpy, is that they might ship you out brined then frozen product. TRULY fresh, you'll might want to look up a smaller Ak-based packer or even a catcher vessel. Kodiak vessels and Homer vessels will be a good bet. But mind you, they'll be in Dutch for the season and there are ADFG regs against them actually SELLING their home-packs. About the onl GOOD way to get FRESH red or blue (or even Brown isn't bad) is to befriend a hand that will send you his home pack cryopacked...but he'll charge you bout as much as a live shipper!!!
Contact Lou LeFarrier...the skipper of the Golden Shamrock...he. MIGHT be able to help you out....maybe.
Safest bet...commercial live shipper. They'll live-ship ANYWHERE air-frieght...but $$$$$.
Working aboard some of the reds and blues catchers, I've been lucky enough to have the FRESHEST red king crab you can believe: King crab omelettes; fresh from the pot...breakfast just after last string is hauled.

Yup. And they muscle/met atrophies very quick after they are are caught as well. Lobsters really don't seem to eat much when they get put in tanks from what I've heard. Always get the lobster that is super active and pissed off looking in the tank, chances are he's on the fresh side. I only buy from one place out west as I've had some really bad lobster in the past that is spongy w/ shit flavor...

Am I reading this right? You really like Dungy better than king crab? I have heard people liking tanner's more than king, but never dungy more than king.
That said, I am heading out this weekend for my last pull of my dungy pots for the season. Hoping for a good day of fishing.

we have live king at the place I eat here in Denver. Really expensive, but worth every bite.
