Know the Serving Size of Colossal Alaskan King Crab Legs
Ordering Alaskan king crab legs can be confusing since the weight includes both the hard exoskeleton and the meat inside. We’ll help you sort out serving sizes. On average, a Colossal King Crab Leg is about .75 lbs., or 12 oz. Crab legs yield about 50% meat, so 1 leg contains about 6 oz. of meat. The standard portion size is 5 oz.
So that means 1 Colossal Alaskan King Crab Leg will be enough to feed 1 person when served with classic New England appetizers or side dishes to complement the meal. We recommend red potatoes, great for baking, frying, or mashing, or Applewood-Smoked Bacon-Wrapped Scallops. Round out your Maine crab dinner with a sweet treat, like Labadie's Bakery, chocolate and vanilla Whoopie Pie.
