Price Update: Costco King Crab Legs Price 2023
MARCH 2023 Costco King Crab Legs Update: Red King Crab Legs continue to be sold out in Costco warehouses nationwide at this time. The replacement are these Golden King Crab Legs. These are also an alaskan king crab leg, wild caught, and a variation of the traditional Alaskan Red King Crab legs that Costco carries. Generally speaking, the Red King Crab is considered the “cadillac” of crab legs – but at this time the Golden King Crab is the only option in-store for March 2023. See Golden King Crab leg post (linked above) to see why and get the latest pricing on them.
We’ll let you know as soon as we see the beloved classic King Crab legs back at Costco!

Can I Buy Cases of King Crab at Costco?
We used to always see 10lb frozen boxes of King Crab at our Costco, but we haven’t seen it there in many months.
If you’re looking to buy a 10lb frozen box of the King Crab Legs…you can ask in the meat department for crab legs still frozen (that way you can defrost when you want to eat them!)…if they have them, they will only sell those in 10 lb boxes (at my store at least).
Costco King Crab Scams, Facebook Ads and PayPal
Important!! Beware during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years that the scams for seafood, steaks and other expensive foods are in full force! If you see super cheap king crab legs advertised by Costco, it’s probably not from Costco, it’s a scam! We’ve NEVER seen King crab legs from Costco for under $36/lb and remember it’s very expensive to ship frozen seafood so it will cost more to order them…don’t lose your hard earned money on scams!
We suggest you don’t click on any ad you see for cheap king crab – instead type in the Costco website URL yourself (www.costco.com) (or the retailer, if not costco) right into your browser – if there’s really a special on King Crab, you’ll be able to find it there. Make sure you’re on the real website and type it yourself!
When it doubt, use the customer service chat online at Costco.com and ask them or call the retailer directly using the number provided on the retailer’s site (not in the ad or provided site link!).
As a reminder, we don’t sell anything here at CostContessa! Unfortunately, these scammers have also used our name, logo and social media links to try and make their sites and ads look legitimate. Don’t fall for it!
