The Ultimate Guide to Crab Legs & Premium Seafood — Delivered to Your Door

There's nothing quite like cracking into a perfectly cooked crab leg — the sweet, briny meat, the satisfying pull, the sense of occasion it brings to any table. Whether you're planning a special dinner, a summer seafood feast, or stocking your freezer with the finest the ocean has to offer, The Table Gourmet has you covered with a curated selection of premium crab legs and seafood delivered straight to your door.

King Crab Legs: The Crown Jewel of Seafood

Alaskan and Chilean King Crab are the gold standard — massive, meaty legs with a rich, slightly sweet flavor that needs very little embellishment. Here's how to navigate our selection:

The Merus Cut — For the Purist

Large Premium King Crab Merus – 20 lb — The merus is the largest, meatiest section of the king crab leg — the part closest to the body. Pre-cut and ready to serve, this is the choice for restaurants, caterers, and home cooks who want maximum meat with minimum effort. Wild-caught, flash-frozen, and exceptional.

Snow Crab: Sweet, Delicate, and Endlessly Snackable

Jumbo Snow Crab Legs Clusters – 10 lb — Snow crab is the everyday hero of the crab world: thinner shells, sweeter meat, and easier to crack than king crab. These jumbo clusters are perfect for a backyard crab boil, a seafood platter, or a casual dinner that still feels special.

How to Cook Crab Legs at Home

Our crab legs arrive pre-cooked and flash-frozen — all you need to do is reheat them. Here are the three best methods:

Steaming (Best Method): Add 1–2 inches of water to a large pot with a steamer basket. Bring to a boil, add crab legs, cover, and steam for 5–7 minutes until heated through. Serve immediately with drawn butter.

Baking: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place crab legs on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter and garlic, cover with foil, and bake for 7–10 minutes. Finish under the broiler for 2 minutes for a slightly caramelized edge.

Boiling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add crab legs and cook for 4–5 minutes. Drain and serve with lemon and butter.

Pro tip: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for the best texture. If you're short on time, run cold water over the legs for 20–30 minutes before cooking.

What to Serve with Crab Legs

  • Drawn butter with garlic and fresh lemon
  • Cocktail sauce and tartar sauce (try our Inglehoffer Variety Pack)
  • Corn on the cob and red potatoes for a classic crab boil
  • A crisp Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, or light lager
  • Crusty sourdough bread to soak up the butter
