Verified Purchase

Probably better off with Snow Crab.

They were just OK. The price was fair and they tasted ok. I knew they were (Southern King Crab) and not the bigger (Northern Seas King Crab) which we all know and love. These are bigger than most Snow Crab, but I prefer the taste of the Snow Crab more.

Don'y buy these, they are not good

These are terrible. I've bought some about a month ago (they were much larger, only had 2 legs/claws in the bag because they were as long as your arm and those ones were fantastic). These however are not. The texture is dry, like they had been thawed/re-frozen numerous times, they had a smell to them like other people have mentioned in their reviews. Don't waste your money with these. Wait for SAMS to get the previous ones back in. Wish I wouldn't have wasted $80 on these, there wasn't a single edible bite out of 2 bags and we didn't even heat them, we only thawed them and was going to serve them chilled :/.

Smaller than ever before

Disappointed in these King Crab Legs. We use to buy the king crab in 2 lb packages and get 2 or 3 legs that were huge and full of meat. They came with an incredible garlic butter. These are closer to snow crab size and have no butter with them. The snow crab legs are cheaper and not much difference in size.

You DO KNOW

For all those people who left a bad review for this product. You do know you can get a full refund or a replacement. Especially for some of those who say they threw out the disappointment and talked about having wasted their money. I don't never buy anything unless I know I can get a full refund duh

I steam my crab legs and we usually get Fresh King Crab from a seafood market but we tried these this year and so glad we did. They tasted fantastic and cooked perfect. The cut they come with made getting the meat out so easy!! Will get these every time. its a great price for what you get!!

Great Value

$25/lb March 2026. Really good value. Taste is very good almost indistinguishable from Alaskan king crab. Size is of restaurant/high grade SNOW CRAB. These are very tiny for king crab. However, for the price they are a great value versus Sam's snow crab or anyone else's crab legs online. Higher grade snow crab is going for $30-$40/lb near me and is the same size as these king crab. The southern King Crab is a bargain in my opinion. I steamed them for 7 minutes and all the meat came out perfectly. Of the 2lb bag, 90% is meat.

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

It didn't have that fresh crab smell I knew right then it wasn't going to be good, I did exactly as it instructed the meat was very dry and the shell was so soft it would bend without breaking I used my scissors to cut them open. It's not worth $50!!

Good crab legs option

Like it or not, the price of crab legs has gone up significantly over the past few years. My family had these Aqua Star King Crab Legs at Christmas, and we all agreed that they were very good. You can see the product you're purchasing in a clear plastic bag. If they don't meet your expectations based on purchases made years gone by of colossal King Crab, that is still available for $70-$90/lb. at specialty stores. These pre-split legs are much bigger than the snow crab at Sam's for $16.99/lb and you don't have the waste of the body portion of the snow crab. The best price I saw on snow crab this season was $9.99/lb at a chain grocer and it was sold in boxes so you couldn't inspect the product. I think these are a good option and not much more money for the amount of crab meat you actually extract.

A good product which saves time and discomfort

I purchased this yesterday and my wife and I consumed it about 30 minutes ago. The product comes in a bag and advertises that it is cracked beforehand and the spines removed. True to form it was both of those things. You get about 2lbs of product for the price which is a standard price. Flavor: It tastes like crab, King Crab to be exact. We steamed it as suggested and then ate it without any butter as a control and then with homemade garlic butter that my wife whipped up for us. The crab itself seems a little dry, and it would seem that maybe that would be attributed to the cracked nature which may compromise the meat. It did taste good, but was a little dry. When we added our garlic butter it was better. Appearance: Typical crab legs with scores on the sides of the appendages which makes it easy to open and consume the product inside. This is an advantage and also may be a hindrance per the meat quality mentioned above. It is nice to not have to deal with the spines which can cause discomfort for those not possession the shell cracking and meat hunting tools. Overall: The product had a good taste to it, but due to it being a little dry it could not be given a 4 or even 5 star rating. This product would best serve as an ingredient in another dish such as a bisque or maybe even a dish that would use this as its meat.

Tasted great in a creamy pasta sauce

Purchased crab legs for my family for a special occasion. Used the crab meat from the legs to make a creamy garlic penne pasta I found online. The directions to cook the crab legs were easy to follow and it worked fine for my dish. Next time I'll use one of recipes suggested on the back of the bag. Definitely will get again, especially if it's on sale.
