Where to Buy King Crab Legs

**copeje** · 08-14-2012, 09:03 PM

Looking to buy some crab legs to cook. Anyone recommend a place to buy in OKC area?

Sam's Club carries them.

I love eating crabs. I usually buy them from the Asian supermarkets alive. The frozen ones aren't as good. I just boil water with salt and throw them in there alive. Then just clean them out and eat with butter . I am going to get me some this weekend

Anyone know a good place for lobster, the tail is just fine because I dont want to deal with the dismemberment?

I'm pretty sure I've seen live lobsters in a tank at Buy For Less on NW Highway and Portland. Between the Deli and the packaged meats.

They sell them by the price per pound.

Go over to North May and Wilshire area...just North of Wilshire. There are two fish markets..Gulf Port and I can't remeber the other. Check the quality and price, Sam's Club always has a good selection and up in my area of Edmomd there is Uptown Market.

Central Market might have a selection. When I pass by their fish counter...whew it smells like fish.
True fresh fish has very little to no odor....so.

The asian market on Classen and Military...is okay. It does smell to high heaven back in the fish area. You'll just have to overlook the dead and dying fish in some of the tanks. Never bought fish from them, but I do buy fish sauce there.

One of them sucks. Most everything in there is frozen.

Uptown and Crest in Edmond both sell "fresh" (unfrozen) king crab and snow crab legs. Just missed the good prices, though. King crab legs were $12.99/lb for a month or so at Crest but have now gone back up to their regular price of $22-$23ish/lb. Snow crab somewhere between $8-$10/lb.

Uptown and Sunflower Market both sell lobster tails. Shop Sunflower on Wednesdays, though, when their weekly Wednesday-Wednesday sales overlap each other. I've picked up lobster tails for $5 each before. They're not huge, but one per person is still enough.

The name of the other place is Avalon Fish Market. I pass by there everyday but have never stopped in, so I can not attest to thier selection or quality.
