Today we offer you a unique delicacy to give your dishes a very refined touch: a recipe floral fish-based featuring the Alaskan King Crab.
This crustacean, found in the Bering Sea, is considered an incredible resource, envied by seafood markets around the world. And as a testament to its value, Alaska has established strict regulations governing the sustainable management of its fishing.
Following extensive scientific research on this species conducted by the Ministry of Fisheries and Hunting, limits and catch zones for king crab have been established to protect the interests of fishermen on the one hand, and the need to preserve an extremely rare and precious ecosystem on the other.
