What Ruben’s is offering you here is crab that is completely filled and bursting with flavor. You see, Alaskan Red King Crab can only be harvested during a very short two week season in October, right before the King Crabs molt (that means lose their old shells because they no longer fit in them).
Only the largest and most perfect crabs are flown out around the world, fresh, for those two weeks. All the rest of the crabs are cut and frozen, sold year round. Yuck! All the King Crab you have ever eaten, anywhere outside of Alaska, has been FROZEN! Fresh King Crab is indescribably succulent, sweet and delicious beyond belief.
