I would not recommend that King Crab legs be refrozen after thawing. Hopefully, they were thawed in the fridge, but the quality will degrade if it is refrozen. Shelf life isn't very long on thawed seafood anyway.

I wouldent suggest doing this because the crab becomes waterlogged and it tastes horrible.
