Its nice to have it at home, but T&T king crab are usually fucked up in some sort of way....get it from a wholesaler...much better quality stuff.

Ya, also hearing some scary stuff about T&T tanks being filled with some chemicals to make the seafood stay alive, and feel crunchy fresh when eating.. I'd love to find a wholesaler and get it direct... just don't know any.

10lb @ 10.99 at a restaurant (when crab is at its cheapest), is $110 + taxes, tips, etc...
really depends how you like to enjoy it imo. if you like it steamed and with just drawn butter, then buy it and do it at home. if you like it done 2-3 ways then go to a restaurant and pay the extra.

That's true, we just steamed it with garlic, butter and lemons.. it was great, but I think I need better scissors to pre-open the shells before steaming. Almost busted the hand clamping down..
And true that about the scamming, just count the legs and make sure you get 6!
