Currently, in the wake of the war in Ukraine and China’s economic slowdown, king crab stocks that were planned to be exported to the U.S. and Europe are being released in South Korea, causing prices to plummet domestically.
Emart announced that it will sell Russian red king crab for 5,000 won per 100 grams for two days on October 20-21, 2023. This is almost half the price of the average price of king crab at Emart last month, which was around 10,000 won per 100 grams.
Emart announced that they will only select 1.5 kilograms or more of red king crab, also known as golden size, so if you’re interested, you gotta visit Emart this weekend.
