The Greatest in Seafood

The Bad Boys of the Bering Sea are getting ready to cast off for another great season of Wild Alaskan Red King Crab fishing. By now almost everyone has had a chance to view an episode or two of the Discovery Channel’s hit show “The Deadliest Catch”, which portrays in vivid detail the dangers, excitement, weather conditions, and passion involved in bringing this crab to market. The show only shows half the battle. Almost all the King Crab harvested in this short season gets cooked and dipped in a salt water brine to protect it, and then is frozen to be shipped and consumed the rest of the year. A small portion of the catch is cooked and shipped out fresh, and any crabber who has ever landed a pot of crabs will tell you there is a huge difference in flavor, taste, and texture between fresh and frozen. You don’t have to sign on as a deck hand on the crab boat Time Bandit or move to Dutch Harbor, Unalaska to enjoy this great treat - just be a DLM customer! Once boats start hailing port with this crab it will be cooked and shipped out overnight to Dorothy Lane Market Seafood departments. Taste the sweet texture of this crab for yourself and you will be mesmerized by the flavor. Fresh Red King Crab will arrive starting the end of October, and continue until the quota is caught. Now is the time to enjoy this great crab from the healthiest, most well-managed, sustainable crab fishery in the world.
