Costco King Crab Unboxing 10lbs!

I know you always wanted to do this purchase, it’s ok. I did it for you! Besides it’s my birthday week so I don’t always get to do this. LoL
Update* As of 10/04/2021 artic seafoods box is at $389 right now.
I got it at $279 Northern Ca Pricing In may 2021. FYI idk what your Costco charges. Let me know! Last week was $319! And they decided to Increase $7 per pound this week. Its now no longer at my costco. Its not sold out. They said its no longer a calie to the customers so the box was removed. $389 is crazy!
I can’ even buy these now.
I wanted to make a new video showing a Standard way to steam and the Asian way
But I Can’t afford $389 a box.
FYI. There are two companies that Costco uses. For the most part it’s always Pacific Seafood. Whenever there low they use another company.
If you would like to support us and our channel, we would be grateful for the help.

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. I will definitely look for the box that's not see through because I don't want freezer burned crabs at that price.

Thank you, Good 👂 lol

[@steveo3831]

I agree. The cluster meat is the best. But speaking about freshness doesn’t make a whole lot of sense… They are harvested, boiled and frozen on the boat. If not soon after. So “freshness“ really has to do with handling and preservation of quality.

[@FadiSetGo]

Yeah I know. Of the last 13 years from Costco, we had 2 boxes that were not good and or really salty within preparation of shipping and boxing. It’s also sad to see the King Crab in Alaska Season suspended. Also even if it wasn’t suspended it’s not financially sustainable to pay for a over $300 IMO. I used to think $220 was a lot back in my old videos, and to see them capped out around $349 before they stopped carrying the is crazy to me. Even online at Costco they want $550 and most of the time it’s not always Alaskan King, it’s Golden King, way smaller and doesn’t taste as good along with the same price tag. Thanks for sharing by the way!

[@steveo3831]

@@FadiSetGo hi. Thanks. And thank you for your post(S). The recent crabbing seasons have been a disaster. It seems that the golden kings could be taken. But not the reds. So here we are wondering what is out there on the market… obviously the Reds are the standard. I recently went to a restaurant and purchased 1.5 pounds of king crab legs. $99. I think they were Reds but now I’m not sure… when I go back, I will ask more questions.

[@steveo3831]

One more comment. My two cents… Salt covers a lot of off flavors… So you are correct when you received some thing that was way too salty. It’s terrible that we have to be so skeptical about everything that we purchase. And the disappointment that ensues. But so many of us are reluctant to bring it back or send it back and stick it to the merchandisers… most of us don’t have time for it, or the inclination to follow through. We just accept disappointment and MoveOn… take it on the chin, but I’m not so sure we learn from those experiences. Because they happen over and over again.

[@FadiSetGo]

@steveo3831 @steveo3831 100% agree. It’s more than crab though! Snapple iced tea decides to go from glass and preserve the contents of the container and switches over to PET plastic. People don’t care! SOBE drinks decides to go from glass changes over the plastic. Starbucks charging six dollars for a Venti drink. People pay it! $400 GoPro cameras people don’t care anymore. Go pros used to be the THING! My list goes on and on and I’ve always been anal about certain things but compared to most people. I am the person that will email the company I will send in a correspondence. I will tell them that my request needs to go above the person that’s handling an email and closes it out. I do this with everything that I’m not satisfied for. Anytime something changes for the worst, I will be “THAT” guy who says something. I have always felt, “fine I’ll do it myself.

[@FadiSetGo]

@steveo3831 oh for sure, Reds are king. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they were golden king crab.

I just checked the price at Costco and it's now reached $599. I am in California. They will probably be charging more as we get closer to the New Year.

[@FadiSetGo]

Omg! I’m in NorCal. I called last night and they finally brought the box back after 1 month. It’s still $389. Costco told me they don’t charge more than 14% over retail on any item. I believe it because prices are still Costco prices, but this crab is not following that rule. You should complain to your local Costco. Use the feedback form.

[@FadiSetGo]

$130/lb um that’s a joke! Its back up here from $336 to $409 been steady at $409. You message may be the most preposterous i have ever seen and i say that respectfully 😳

Gotcha, yeah my store is $389 right now. Alaska just suspended Opelio crab season for 2022-2023, so I think King may go up about 10% soon

Well ironically I found a picture today with a box of the Costco crab in my phone from march 2021 and they were $249! As of today there about $359 down $20 from last week. I got them for $379. Keep waiting until February I assume with supply and the economy you may get them for $350 ish I know that’s a lot but just think it’s basically the total of going to 2-3 fancy seafood restaurants and with this box depending your family and etc, this will last a while! 👌🏼

Yeah this video was made a little while back. Prices are slowly coming down from $389 to about $360 on avg. it’s still not Alaskan King Crab so I hope they start bringing it in vs this Russian King Crab.

[@scratcherscratcher11]

Nice!

[@joeberryman1625]

20 dollars of inflation over 10 years?

[@FadiSetGo]

Yes, we have been getting this box for over 10 years and as most people know, salmon, crab, scallops and seafood tends to be high & consistently the same price over the years. We’ve been a Costco member since 2007, in 2010 on my 30th bday we got a box and it was 218.00. It was also that price for many years after that also. Aug 2021 it became $379, and as of today (05/2022) its $429 a box! Also remember Costco keeps prices down for consumers even after Covid. I also talked to the Seafood Regional Manager and he said costo for most of there products they don’t charge no more than 6-7% above market. He advised if prices are high people wont pay nor will they find a value shopping there.

[@makana63]

I remember it was $149 before covid now it is $379 a box

[@FadiSetGo]

I know right. Before I could even afford a box the lowest price I ever remember paying for was $218. To see it now at $389 for our Costco is nuts. I stopped buying at $300, that was our family’s max budget then as it is still now. The problem is I’m gonna be waiting for. While before we see it at $300.

Wow. Our Costco just got rid of the $389 boxes. I wish they were $319. I would get a box now because, if you don’t know” Costco stops buying items when the prices go way up, they will get rid of it. I watched a documentary on it. Also we have friends who work there. They said if a item is a Costco and later the cost goes up and people stop buying it or Costco feels it’s not a value they will pull the item. For the last month our Costco has 0 King Crab boxes

🚨🚨🚨 Warning ⚠️ lol That’s an expensive experiment 🧪 to mess up on. My Advice is to thaw them out. Make a bomb spicy sauté in a large pan and stir fry the king crab for 12-15 mins. It’s safer than frying please you don’t want to ruin that tasty meat 🦀💙
