The average weight is 6 to 10 pounds, but king crab can grow to more than 20 pounds. Unlike other crabs, king crabs have only six legs versus eight legs, and two claws. The body or carapace section of king crabs is typically sent to canners while the legs are separated and served individually.
The measurement is taken from the base of the propodus (at the joint of the elbow) to the outer tip of the propodus (Figure 3). In general, male claws are larger than female claws for a crab of the same carapace (shell) size. The largest male claws are about 140 millimeters (mm), or roughly 5Â½ inches long.
