    Question Crab Legs: Where and which type?

    Looking to get some tasty crab legs for a special occasion but I'm not sure on which type available in HK is best and which supplier to buy from (or avoid)?

    HKTV Mall has a bunch of options (Japan, Alaska, even Chile) but the last time we got some from Yata the misses remarked they were pretty bland. For refence she loves Atlantic crab legs. Not interested in fresh as it's too pricey and no point in paying for the body as there's not much meat.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks. You've tried it from them and it's good?

    Yes, our office has shared a few boxes of crab legs in the past. Not sure if they were "good", don't they all taste the same in the end?

    Do all ribeye steaks taste good?

    Problem is she has had the crab from my hometown during the season so she's spoiled. 30lbs for $30CAD and super high quality (flash frozen fresh), bought a short drive away direct from the fish factory.

    I would say it depends on where it's from and how long it's been frozen which is difficult to assess on these sites.
