Dungeness is the best-tasting crab there is,
—
Live King or Golden King, cooked in ocean water, right off the boat are far better.
We can get them here in the Midwest frozen, but they are very expensive and are dehydrated - there is no ocean water to re-hydrate them. Fresh does not work very well - taste is off.
I prefer Dungeness to king crab. Tastes differ, which is why I stated my preference as an opinion and not as a fact.
