Good point.

They are king crab legs for sure.

It was $29.99 some weeks ago.

It says product of Russia (if any of you guys care where it comes from).

That time of the year again! :D

OOoh... what's the going price?... the last few seasons were stupidly expensive...

I have been told by the newspaper, restaurants, retailers, etc. that the high prices in the past few seasons were due to the king crabs being a high end hot commodity in Mainland China. With the anti-corruption crackdowns that have been going on, lavish feasts seems to have have dwindled in numbers.

I wonder if that would cause a reduced demand in China, and some corresponding lower prices here?

Let's hope so ... I remember like 6-7 years ago you could find some (semi-shady) places selling for $8.88... then last year the cheapest one I could find was like $36 :yuno:

Bump. I have guests from out of town who wants to eat some. Has anybody went out for any this year? Price and taste?

$39.99 @ Western Lake

Per crab or per pound :suspicious:

Per pound bro

It was highway robbery..

x 8-12lbs .....:okay:

Time to make a new thread?

I didn't have any last year because the price was so high. This year is looking to be even more expensive =(

Anyone ever tried getting one from T&T and cook themselves? Anyone know the price/lb at T&T?

I don't think the season is here yet.. it is 44.80 at kirin and the biggest they have so far is a 10lb crab.

44.80/lb! dafuq bro :rukidding:

BC dungeness crab is like 16/lb right now :fulloffuck: resulting from exporting :okay:

fucking china man, buying everything.

Went to Seafood Harbour (at River Rock) for Dimsum. Asked the price for King Crab just for the hell of it...

$53.88/lb :heckno: :fuckthatshit:

:fuckthatshit::fuckthatshit: Chef Tony is at $68.88 :fuckthatshit::fuckthatshit::fuckthatshit::okay:

Decline of Vancouver

:seriously::fulloffuck:
That's like a fucking grand for a decent sized 14-15lb crab ...

FYI for anybody that is interested:

T & T is selling King crab for $26.## per lb (on a flyer), and their crabs are 7lbs or lower.

I think the season is about to start.

Kirin has it for 38.88 today, the one I went to have a 14lb one.. congee noodle house has it for 35/lb.

^^ I don't know I just don't feel like king crab anymore. Must have had too much for the past few years.
