What do King Crab Legs Taste Like?

When cracking a crab leg and finding a huge meat chunk, all the senses liven up! These legs require a crab cracker or a mallet to break the rigged shells. Different from snow crabs that can easily snap in half. King crabs’ shells keep the meat secure. Other than the strong butter smell, the meat boasts an oceanic sea air quality. Fresh without any fishiness, some compare king to the quality of lobster. The taste certainly resembles lobster with a mild flavor, sweet meat. Different, however, from lobster’s plump texture, king pulls similar textured meat to snow crab, but larger. Slightly dense and fibrous enough to hold the chunks together, king crab legs don't flake apart like the blue crab but offers solid pieces. Just listen to the cracking shells and the dunking of meat in the hot butter! The slightly nutty and creamy butter complements the briny king for a taste worth all the fuss!
