ALASKA KING CRAB GUIDE

Alaska king crab is one of the most sought-after seafood experiences in the world. Here's everything you need to know about Alaska king crab — and where to eat it in Anchorage.

Where Alaska King Crab Comes From

True Alaska king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) is harvested from the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. The wild fishery is tightly regulated to maintain sustainability. The red king crab is the most prized species — massive, sweet, and the one you see on Deadliest Catch.

The Humpy's King Crab Experience

At Humpy's, we serve whole Alaskan king crab legs, steamed to order. Drawn butter, fresh lemon, house slaw. No flash freezing theatrics — just real crab, prepared simply, the way Alaskans do it. Market priced because it's the real deal.

How to Eat King Crab

King crab shells crack easily. Use the crackers provided, pull the meat out in long strips, dip in drawn butter. Don't rush it. A king crab experience at Humpy's is meant to be savored with a cold Alaska craft beer beside it.
