Our review team examined New York Steak & Seafood Co.'s King Crab Legs, a wild-caught Alaskan Red King Crab offering sold direct-to-consumer in bulk portions. Here's a closer look at what you get and how it's priced.
These are jumbo, wild-caught Red King Crab legs and claws sourced from Alaskan waters. New York Steak & Seafood Co. describes them as thick and meaty, sized at 9/12 count — meaning 9 to 12 legs per case at the source, which puts these among the larger king crab sizes available on the retail market. Each individual leg weighs approximately 0.85 lb.
According to the brand, the crab legs are cooked and frozen immediately after being caught in the icy waters of Alaska, then shipped to New York Steak & Seafood Co. and on to customers in a reusable, flash-frozen cooler designed to preserve quality in transit. Because they arrive pre-cooked and frozen, preparation is straightforward: thaw and serve cold with cocktail sauce, or steam or bake from frozen and serve with warm drawn butter.
New York Steak & Seafood Co. sells these in three bulk sizes:
For serving guidance, the brand suggests 4-8 oz per person as an appetizer or part of a larger spread, and 1-1.5 lbs per person if crab legs are the main course. That means the 2.5 lb order works reasonably well for a 2-person dinner or a larger appetizer spread, while the 5 lb and 10 lb sizes are built for entertaining or stocking a freezer for multiple meals.
At roughly $114-116 per pound across the three tiers, this sits solidly in premium seafood territory, which tracks with king crab's status as one of the more expensive shellfish varieties on the market regardless of retailer. The 9/12 sizing (large legs) and direct-from-Alaska sourcing are the main value propositions justifying that price point over a supermarket freezer-aisle option.
Editor's take: king crab is a splurge item no matter where you buy it, so the real question is whether the sizing and freshness claims justify ordering online versus buying frozen crab locally. The 9/12 sizing here is genuinely large, and cooking crab legs from frozen is low-effort — steam or bake and serve with butter. This is best suited to a special-occasion dinner, holiday spread, or seafood boil rather than a casual weeknight meal, given the price per pound.
