Red king crab from Bristol Bay is Alaska's iconic winter shellfish, harvested briefly in October and served whole steamed or split with melted butter at downtown anchors.
The Bristol Bay red king crab fishery opens in October when stocks allow, with quotas set annually by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The Whale's Tail at Hotel Captain Cook and Crow's Nest stock king crab through winter, and Snow City Cafe's signature Kodiak Benedict pairs a king crab cake with poached eggs and hollandaise on an English muffin year-round.
