King Crab is harvested out of the Bering Sea (the area between Russia, Alaska and Northern BC)
Loblaws often have them on sale right before Christmas
but the Pelican Fishery (1500 Bank Street, Blue Heron Mall) has them year round

Enjoyed a good feed of King Crab this week... available from Loblaws in the "frozen" seafood section (open freezers usually found near the deli). Is often a featured Loblaws special. Are packaged in a heavy plastic bag, black writing on a white background (sort of no-name looking) 1.36 Kg (3 Lbs) in weight. Can be served chilled (defrost) or hot (oven or steamed).

Delicious King Crab and a good value.
