I saw most of the restaurants starts selling king crab, wonder when will this majestic animal disappear from the earth all together.

I don't think the government will let it happen.

back to topic, we went to Redstar(Richmond) last year and they are pretty good.

Nothing personal. But I wonder, isn't cooking a king crab could be very easy to do? The main thing is to cook a live crab instead of a already-dead one. Then the simplest way is to put some fresh gar ...

hard to cook at home la.
1)  crab too large, and too hard to cut. u don't want to hurt yourself.
2)  it needs big wok
3)  requires big fire.

otherwise, just waste of money to cook at home.

Yes. you are right.
however, usually those restaurants selling for higher price are those one that have better name (or more high class).
some cheap restaurants pre-CUT the crab.  so, whichever table needs it, they can cook it right away.  
For king crab, you have to chop it & cook it fresh. (same as other seafood).   So, as long as  you can make sure the restaurant you go really catch the crab, cut it & cook it fresh, then you will have a good dinner.

I didn't pay, so I am not too sure. However, I think it is $13.99, and the crab is ~ 14lb. Don't think they cheat us on the weight, as we can really taste the crab with TONS of meat comparing trying it in elsewhere last year.

yi yuen is in the richmond staples mall (opposite to richmond centre)
or another way of saying it is its the same mall as wong fu cheng, but on the other end..

it depends on how large the crab is la~~
i think 14lbs can serve at least 8 people?
correct me if im wrong=]
