Fresh King Crab at La Cantina Fueguina de Freddy, Ushuaia, ARGENTINA
Ushuaia, Argentina is always known as the lowest and southernmost city in the world. Yet, the town is also popular for another good thing. Seafood. It’s undeniable that the city is famous for its fresh king crab! 
Since there’s so many of them, we visited one of the restaurants on the main road of San Martin. La Cantina Fueguina de Freddy is located at the heart of the busy San Martin road. Located just 2 blocks away from the seaport, San Martin is the busiest street of Ushuaia. After checking the menu on the entrance, me and the rest wasted no time to order our first fresh king crab in Ushuaia, Argentina. 
It’s nothing like holding a fresh King crab. The nice owner allowed me to go to the kitchen to catch one of the king crab for this picture. Then the owner weighed the king crab as like video above. It’s huge! Video is in HD! 
Cooking the crab fresh is the only option for my opinion to taste the freshness of the crab. After waited for around 15 min, the huge king crab came. The crab came with “aros” (rice), with a bit of salad and sauce. Like you can see, its so huge, how do we eat them? Check it out below (video in HD). The waiter made it so simple and easy. Well, as you can see the crab was still hot and fresh. Video in HD. A short video of me in HD. Three of us enjoyed the king crab very much. The meat was soft, not so tender but super uber freshness. Hence, the crab was so juicy and we ate the crab without any sauce. Amazing stuff! Never thought having King crab fresh is so nice. Lovely experience! An old couple who saw us ordering the crab and they ordered their own too. 
After a length full session of king crab, this is what was left of the crab. Well, it was a heavy and satisfying lunch of the juicy crab. The restaurant itself was cozy with heater,to keep ourselves warm from the chilly weather outside. Service was excellent and pricing as below: Receipt 
The crab cost around 250 pesos per kilogram. The crab weighed around 2kg plus so it cost around 515 pesos. It would be nice to accompany the crab with white wine, but since it was a lunch, we save it for other sessions. We had wine almost every lunch and dinner here, it’s so cheap in Argentina. The Malbec here is very good and popular. There will be more reviews on restaurants and cafe in Ushaia, Argentina. If you are this part of the world, King crab must be a must to order. Trust me, even in Buenos Aires having King crab is tough!
