King Crab ruts Financial Muscles Int
Segments of Alaska’s Fishing Industry
KODIAK W — King crab, once
dismissed as just another ugly,
useless creature of the sea, is
putting new financial muscles in
to segments of Alaska’s fishing
industry.
Prior to 1953 there were no
commercial landings of king crab
in Alaska.
But last year the commercial
catch was 28,570,000 pounds,
worth $2,286,186 to fishermen who
used to have to make their money
for the entire year during the
short summer salmon season.
The king crab catch this year
has already outstripped the en
tire take of 1960 and an eager
market in the south 48 states
stands ready to absorb the in
crease.
What kind of creature is this
king crab?
His light, pliant shell is bright
red topside and a creamy white
on the underside.
He has four long, spine-studded
legs and two pinchers. His long
est legs may stretch as much as
58 inches from tip to tip.
His meat is sweet, firm and
white. In texture it is a little
more coarse than the flesh of the
well-known dungeness crab.
A mature crab will weigh as
much as 24 pounds before being
cooked ami cleaned. Important to
both producer and the consumer,
die waste is negligible.
The thin leg shells, for instance,
can be cut away easily .with a
good pair of kitchen shears or a
sharp paring knife, leaving a
solid piece of flesh as large or
larger in diameter than a man’s
thugiEb. and six or seven inches in
The meat is equally delicious
canned or fresh. It can be broiled
on the half shell, used in cas
seroles, salads or coektails, or it
can .be eaten as is.
For the south 46 market, most
of Alaska's king crab is shelled
and quick-frozen in family-size
packages. This includes leg meat,
body meat, whole legs in the shell
and whole crabs, the latter used

or buffets.
In recent months, P.N. Holm of
Juneau, who pioneered a new king
crab industry in southeast Alaska,
has developed a fresh king crab
market in the Pacific Northwest
states.
Holm’s boats deliver their live
crab for cooking and processing
one morning and the next day
the fresh crab is winging .toward
the market via commercial air
liner.
Most Alaskan king crab comes
from the icy waters around Ko
diak Island.
In the Kodiak area, fishermen
ibrave some of the world’s foulest
weather, to gather in king crab
through the use of traps or other
trawls.
I The new, expanding king crab
market has provided a new use
for Alaska fishing boats which in
times past were normally tied up
ail winter.
Now many fishermen take ad
vantage of the summer salmon
seasons and then switch to crab
bing in the fall, winter and early
Spring months.
As Bob Simon, a state biologist
stationed at Kodiak, described the
situation there:
“The Kodiak economy is strong
er than it has ever been since
crabbing has become a major in
I dustry. The community used to
die off in the winter, but new
there are new cars, bills are paid
and people live better the year
