Alaska: Where Crab is King

I've only had King Crab a few times in restaurants; it is quite expensive. And I've shied away from experimenting with expensive ingredients. So it was quite the score when we found it here for $10/lb... so no excuses now!!!

Almost everyone, myself included makes crab salad with 'imitation crabmeat', which is really Pollock, a fish. Having tasted real King Crab, I now realize that Pollock is to seafood what Bologna is to deli meat. It's sort of resembles the real thing, but let's not kid ourselves....

It was a totally decadent culinary experience. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It truly is food of the gods, and tonight we dined with Poseidon.
