there are no culinary differences between the 3 types of king crab.
the brown king aka. golden king crab have less meat content than red king crab. (thats why they are a lot cheaper)
red king have harder shells, more meat content and imo, sweeter.
the blue king is caught in deeper waters than both brown and red king. meat content is similar to red king, however their shells are softer.
red and blue king are usually fished and distributed around oct to january.
