MSP - Where to get HUGE King Crab Legs

I've checked with the old Standby's (Byerly's, Kowalski's and Coastal Seafood regarding King Crab Legs. I'm looking for the really big ones for a meal I want to prepare for out of town guests for effect.

The Crab Legs at Coastal are 16 - 20 (per 5 lbs), and I am looking for Crab legs that are approaching 1 per pound. Anyone have ideas where I can go? I got them once at Byerly's but have not seen them since.

Thanks in advance.

    The ones at Costco are always huge. I found a few posts which state that they are 6/9 size, or 6-9 legs per 10 pounds, which would meet your goal. Good luck!

      I have gotten them at Coastal via special order - but you need to buy the whole 20# box. I think they charged $19.99 a pound.
