Cooked red king crab
Cooked red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus). This crab is native to the Bering Sea and the northern Pacific Ocean. Like other decapods (crabs and lobsters) this marine crustacean scavenges on the seabed. Red king crabs can reach enormous sizes, as much as 28 centimetres across the carapace, and with a leg span of nearly 2 metres. This crab is a highly-prized delicacy and is commercially fished. When cooked, it turns this red colour. For an uncooked red king crab, see C006/9561. Photographed in Alaska

This print showcases a cooked red king crab, a magnificent creature native to the Bering Sea and the northern Pacific Ocean. With its vibrant red color, this crustacean is an exquisite delicacy highly sought after in culinary circles. The size of these crabs is truly awe-inspiring, as they can grow up to 28 centimeters across the carapace and boast a leg span of nearly 2 meters.

The intricate details of this majestic creature are beautifully highlighted in this photograph. From its formidable pincers and legs to its robust carapace, every aspect speaks volumes about the wonders of marine life.
