Got questions about
VAMO King Crab?
Here’s a curated list of frequently asked questions about our beloved crustaceans.
OUR PRODUCT
How many different types of king crab are there?
There are several species of king crab, but the three main types that are commercially harvested are Red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus), Blue king crab and Golden king crab.
Red king crab is the most common and widely harvested species of king crab. It is known for its large size, sweet flavor, and tender meat. At VAMO, we specialize in offering Red king crab, sourced directly from the Arctic waters of Norway.
What's the difference between king crab and lobster?
While both king crab and lobster are delicious seafood options, they differ in several ways. King crab is known for its large size, spiky shell, and sweet, succulent meat, typically harvested from cold, deep waters. Lobster, on the other hand, has a distinctive clawed appearance and a milder, more delicate flavor. Lobsters are often found in warmer coastal waters and have a softer shell. Additionally, the meat texture and cooking methods for each vary, with king crab often steamed or boiled and lobster commonly grilled or broiled.
King crab is revered as the nobility of seafood, celebrated for its rarity, generous meat portions, and exquisite flavor profile.
How does VAMO ensure the quality of its king crab?
At VAMO, quality is paramount. We take pride in delivering the finest king crab, harvested only during the prime season from August to December when the meat is at its optimal quality. We adhere to strict harvesting practices and do not harvest outside of this period to ensure that our customers always receive the best quality meat. This commitment to quality is reflected in every aspect of our operations, from sourcing to packaging, to provide you with an exceptional dining experience.
