Alaskan crab
Cold-water shellfish delicacy
Alaskan crab refers to several large crab species harvested from the cold waters off Alaska, prized for their sweet, succulent meat.
The term most often means king crab or snow crab, staples of commercial fishing and seafood restaurants.
We ordered Alaskan crab legs with drawn butter.
The fishery is notoriously dangerous, popularized by reality television shows about crab boats.
