What's better snow crab or king crab?

Like king crabs, snow crabs have very long legs that provide a lot of their meat. Snow crab meat is quite tasty, but is considered a little more fibrous than king crab meat. Their legs are thinner and less impressive than king crabs'. This makes them less popular with restaurants and thus more affordable for you.
