King crabs also called stone crabs are a superfamily of crab-like decapod crustaceans chiefly found in cold seas. Because of their large size and the taste of their meat many species are widely caught and sold as food the most common being the red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus.King crabs are generally thought to be derived from hermit crab-like ancestors which may explain the asymmetry still found in the adult forms.
