As I said (plz read carefully), if you buy from T&T they already clean and cut up everything for you. So only need to steam the leg pieces. Garlic/a bit of salt/green onion/a bit of oil/soy sauce is what you need.
No large wok is fine, just steam fewer pieces a time. I have gas stove, but I don't see why can't you steam with electric stove. We are not talking about stir fry here.

Buy from any supermarket that has the cheapest price at that time, which chopped into pieces. Go home, rinse them with tap water briefly and cook in different but simple ways such as shabu and steamed. The possible biggest you can get at a supermarket won't be as big as the ones sold in restaurants, maybe only up to 7+/- lbs, but already good enough for 2 people for at least 1-2 meals with side dishes.

I went Kanpeki Teppanyaki with friends last week
this is my first time try 鐵板燒皇帝蟹
you need to call and reserve the crab before you go
we have 1) salt and pepper 2) Garlic 3) Fried rice
the crab is very good and very big
i like the fresh garlic one, very tasty
salad, veggies and dessert also included
I'm not sure how much per lb
But 5 of us, $45 per person all inclusive, full just by eating the crab !!!

that's what I did too.
bought it from t&t cos it's on discount
and had them chop it up for me
i cut the tubes open with scissors before steaming it.
dip it in butter or straight up.
i dunno how to get fancy with the sauce :p
butter is over the top for me already
i would recommend some lemon for dipping sauce too
tastes very fresh that way.
the crab already have salty sea water taste to it..seasoning shouldn't be complicated.

we have tried the Grand Dynasty next to Grand Villa Casino $13.80 per lb. Suprisingly good (in terms of flavor, texture and freshness) and lots of meat...
We are not really big fans of those 3-4 styles of crab dishes, so I am totally fine with only 1 eat as long as it's fresh and steamed to perfection. Kinda depends on what you want.
自己整我都試過, 但其實唔差得幾多錢, 我自己就費事煩
怡園係個蟹身真係整得幾香口, 但地方真係唔坐得耐..

Since i didnt reserve the king crab in advance.. so I only got a 7.5 lbs.. it tastes SO SO!! very disappointed.. I heard many good comments abt sunsuiwah king crab before.. so i am kinda expect something good =/
Since we have 6 people.. we ordered some other dishes too.. and was surprised that their food wasn't that great either.. i guess they are overated...
My friend also went to sunsuiwah with her frds a week later.. and got cheated on lbs... the crab looks small but claimed to be 10lbs.. and she said the crab tastes so so either..

It is not necessary bad thing, it takes a skilled cook 12 minutes to kill and
cut up a King crab for cooking. And they do not just waiting for you to place
the order.
For busy restaurant that sell over 30 crabs a night, they would cut up 20
crabs before 5 pm so they reach your table in 10 minutes, cooking and all.
The presenting of crabs is just for entertaining, the crab get put back into the
tanks.
500 lb king crab in a crate works out to be about 30 crabs, give or take.
so if they sell 30 crabs a night, that would ring in good sales. and pay the
bill in 2 weeks term.If you do not believe, try to sneak into the kitchen and see what piles on the
kitchen floor.

It is quite true.
A very interesting information FYIThe King Crab season is almost over in Vancouver, and the price goes up to $16 per pound wholesale,
so they do not make a lot of profit from your dinner.
However the King Crab season in Alaska starts in early June.
The Alaskan Seafood Council sponsors me 60 premium crabs for my party in June,
equivalent to US$7500 whichever I prefer
