1. Weighing 11 pounds or more on average and achieving a leg span of up to six feet from tip to tip, the majestic king crab is harvested in the Arctic waters of the Bering Sea. Three distinct species are sold under the name king crab, though Lithodes aequispinus (golden or brown king crab) is the most widely available. The king's exceptionally sweet leg meat has a silky richness that is comparable to-and, some contend, exceeds-that of lobster meat.
