Alaskan King Crabs are perhaps the most prized
possessions of the sea, as they are known to make a sumptuous seafood dish,
thanks to their succulent white meat. Like most good things, however, these
creatures of the sea are also one of the most difficult to find along Monterey
and in other places.
Usual Habitat
Alaskan Red King Crabs are usually found along
shallow coastal waters that are less than 200 feet deep, provided that these
have flat and sandy or muddy terrains on the ocean floor; the same holds true
for their cousins, the Blue Crabs. Golden King Crabs, meanwhile, are more
adventurous, as they tend to inhabit deeper waters, reaching as deep as 1,600
feet under water, yet they could also be found anywhere between 650 feet and
1,300 feet. They also prefer soft corals and boulders as their habitats.
