There is, I guess, not that I could help you with it off hand. I have seen
Red King Crab for sale as Red Alaskan before, so that would be my guess on
the more expensive one, they are always pre-cooked and frozen shipped as far
as I know. The cheaper one might be snow crab? no idea. The prices for
both could vary by season, catch and location, so your guess is as good as
mine.
