3793.0. "Alaskan King Crab Legs" by 12GAGE::DERIE (Quis custodes ipsos custodiet?) Tue May 04 1993 20:43

    
     Hi,
     
     Can anyone recommend the best method for cooking and serving Alaskan
    King Crab Legs?
    
     I believe these are the previously frozen kind.

3793.1Cooking crab legsDPDMAI::DICKERSONDETue May 04 1993 22:238
    Drop them into a big pot of boiling water, cook just until the color on
    the legs turns to a bright orange...my favorite food!

3793.2Steam 'emSWAM1::JANCO_DETue May 04 1993 22:448
    Steve,
    
    If you are talking about the crab legs that are once cooked and then
    frozen, what I usually do is steam them until warmed through. They've
    already been cooked once so they only need to be reheated.....one of my
    favorite foods too...next to Maine Lobster!!!!

    thanks all.  8:00 AM right now, and I'm ready for lunch.
    
    They are also good in portugese fish stew.  You add them about ten
    minutes before the stew is finished cooking, or if preparing ahead of
    time, add after re-heating, and continue to reheat for ten minutes.
    
    
3793.4ARE THEY FRESH OR FROZEN IS THEY ARE SALTY?RINGER::WALTERused to be AquiliaWed May 05 1993 15:358
    Has anyone ever noticied that some times these are pretty salty?
    
    I had some at Scupperjacks in Acton, MA a few months ago and I couldn't
    even eat them. 
    
    Is there any way to take that saltiness out?

 Soak 'em. Of course, much of the flavor goes, too.

I've also had these (the laterally cut ones) broiled.

3793.7Bake stuff themPHAROS::FANTOZZIThu Jul 08 1993 13:238
    
    You can split them and stuff them just as you would a lobster and then
    bake them.
    
    I just had some over the 4th of July, they were delicious!
