Are you a fan of the Discovery channel series “Deadliest Catch,” which chronicles the highly dangerous work of King crab fishing on the Bering Sea? If so, you’ll want to drop by one of the three Roanoke Kroger stores where Capt. Keith Colburn will be signing autographs this coming Saturday (April 28).
Colburn, captain of the ship Wizard, will be at:
* Bonsack Kroger at 3970 Valley Gateway Blvd. from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
* Vinton Kroger on Hardy Road from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m.
* Towers Kroger on Brandon Avenue from 2 until 3:30 p.m.
Even if you don’t give a rip about the TV show, which is now in its 8th season, you might want to stop by to take advantage of the special price on Alaska King crab legs. They’ll be selling for $19.99, while snow crab legs will be on sale for $7.99. According to Kroger folks, this crab was all caught from Colburn’s boat.
“Deadliest Catch” airs in more than 150 countries. In these parts, it comes on at 9 p.m. every Tuesday.

I might go by there (I love the show!), but I have never cooked crablegs. Any ideas and/or good recipies?
With something as delicious as king crab legs, you don’t even need a recipe, Tami. Just defrost frozen crab legs in the fridge and follow the directions on the box for steaming them.Then melt some butter for dipping and enjoy. Yum!
I have to pick my son up from school this weekend…I am beyond words bitter about missing this, and I don’t even LIKE Keith. I’ve watched from the first year and am a total fan.
I have never cooked them either but I’ve heard if they are pre-cooked you can steam them in the microwave between wet paper towels. If you you boil them they will get overcooked.
I went yesterday and got some of the snowcrab legs from the Wizard…we steamed them for dinner and they were fantastic.
I’ll bet. YUM! I love crab!
