10/19/08 King Crab Season Update

King crab fishing grounds.

The fishing grounds.

I received word yesterday that it took fishermen a couple of days to get “on the crab”, but the harvest of Alaska king crab is now proceeding at a good rate.  The Trident Seafoods plants at Akutan and Saint Paul are expecting their first deliveries on the 20th or 21st.  (On the map, Saint Paul is one of the 2 Pribilof Islands.)

We will be flying in our first shipment of the new season’s crab from
Saint Paul.

    So you can ship fresh crab right to my front door?

    Yes, provided you live in the United States. We are currently shipping on Thursdays for Friday deliveries. I expect to be able to ship fresh king crab through the first week in November.

    After that, the season is likely to be winding-down.
