King crab legs

King crab legs are one of the most prized seafoods in global cuisine, especially valued for their white, sweet, and delicate meat. These limbs belong to the king crab, also known as the snow crab or giant crab, which primarily inhabits the cold waters of the North Pacific Ocean, off the coasts of Alaska, Russia, and Japan.

Their meat is considered an exquisite delicacy, ideal for gourmet recipes and high-end cuisine, from salads and pastas to soups and sushi. King crab legs are rich in high-quality proteins, low in fat, and contain important minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium, as well as B-complex vitamins, making them a nutritious and healthy option.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, king crab legs may be known by various synonyms, such as giant crab legs, royal crab legs, or more commonly, simply king crab. In some parts of Latin America, they are informally referred to as crab legs or crab claws.

Thanks to their firm texture and sophisticated flavor, king crab legs are an ideal ingredient for preparing dishes that aim to highlight the delicate touch of the sea, adding elegance and a unique flavor to any recipe.
