How much is the king crab per jin?

King crab, also known as stone crab or rock crab, is a kind of deep-sea crab, and ordinary crab is not the same species. The meat quality of the king crab is very delicious, and its nutritional value is also very high, so it is widely captured and used as food. China and the waters around Asia do not produce king crabs, so most of the king crabs on the market are imported quick-frozen products. Here let's take a look at the price of king crabs on the market.

Today, all the king crabs in the Chinese market are imported from abroad, and several areas in the world that produce king crabs are mainly the Bering Strait, the waters of Alaska, the Barents Sea of Norway, and the waters of Chile. The live king crabs and raw king crabs are basically from the Bering Sea in Russia and Alaska in the United States, while the cooked frozen king crabs are basically from Chile (because of the long transportation distance). Norwegian king crabs are not currently exported to China.

The price of king crab is mainly related to its mode of transportation and size. If it is a wild and fresh king crab, the price is the most expensive. Generally speaking, after fishing from the deep sea, these king crabs are directly airlifted to the domestic market for sale, about 300-400 yuan per jin, and the larger the specific size, the higher the unit price. The prices of king crabs vary from place to place, and it is possible to have a retail price as high as NT $600 to NT $700. according to the size of the king crab, 2000 yuan is normal.

The second type of king crab is the frozen king crab, which is cooked and frozen, and then transported to the market for sale. The king crabs transported in this way generally have a good taste, flavor and nutritional value, and can be eaten directly after thawing. Although it is not as good as the wild and fresh king crabs, the price generally fluctuates around 200 yuan. The specific price should still be determined according to the local market.

The last kind of king crab is the kind of king crab that is common in the market. This kind of king crab is directly frozen and then transported to the market, its quality is very difficult to control, and its freezing time, live or dead are not known, and the longer the freezing time, the lower the nutritional value and the worse the taste and flavor. But if you just want to taste the flavor of the king crab, you can also consider this king crab.

King crabs are generally cheaper in the seafood market. if they are deep inland, the price may double, and if they are eaten in a big hotel, the price may be even higher. Today's king crabs are also raised in captivity, which is not as delicious as natural king crabs, but you can also give it a try.
