Top Restaurants in town? Got a good recipe to share? Share culinary info or post up photos of your delicious dish. #revsceneVLS
Why do people spend $300 on sushi? Why do people spend $$$ on wine at a resto when you can buy it for a fraction of the price from a store? Etc etc.
Anyways, I hope those who enjoy King Crab is getting their fill! I hear prices are gonna get even more expensive this weekend cause it's so limited this year.

We went to Imperial Court tonight and it was $15.99/lbs. Paid the extra $10 and $15 to get the two different styles (steamed with garlic is default and the extra $10 gave us the deep-fried version with spices and the $15 gave the head baked with rice). Not too bad.
Called over to Golden Swan and it was $20.99/lbs.
Prices are definitely going up, but have a glance at your parents' Chinese newspapers. I'm sure you can't go wrong with places that advertise for $18.80/lbs. Just hope they don't do the ol' Asian switcheroo.

Gotta be careful though. Say you had a 8lbs crab.
$15.99 X 8 + $10 + $15....brings you to $19.11/lb.
While some other restaurants doesn't charge you extra for making it the 3rd/4th style.
It doesn't mention the origin of the crabs though.. AFAIK Korean King Crabs are available round the year it is the Alaskan that is seasonal.
Ahh yes very true. I called them and asked and they did say it was Alaskan. Though of course anyone can say it is hahaha. I made a reservation for my family so I guess we'll see!
I recommend Golden Harvest Seafood Restaurant, at 4818 Main St.
I was there last Friday for this 14 lb crab. Not the best pic, but it's more blue/purple than red/brown (prior to cooking). It's a meatier version with thinner shell so better bang for the buck I guess. It was $24/lb and their tanks were overflowing with king crabs.
But go now because I think the season is winding down.

Were those 2 dishes of "garlic sauce" crab HALF Of the drab?
And, you would get the OTHER half in a different sauce?
Venice Garden on 1st ave and Renfrew near T&T has a nice special. $198 for 6 people, gets you 3 plates of garlic crab legs, 1 plate of salt and pepper crab body, 1 giant crab shell fried rice, fish stomach soup and more.
