DUNGENESS CRAB
Get your Dungeness Crab while it's still fresh!

Dungeness crabs are a fantastically tasty treat, as well as a lean, healthy, delicious holiday tradition. About one-quarter of the crab's weight is meat. The flesh has what is considered to be a delicate flavour and slightly sweet taste. Live crabs are cooked simply by dropping them into boiling salt water, waiting for a boil to return, and then allowing it to continue for 15 minutes, after which time the crabs are removed and placed into cold water to cool, and then cleaned. Another method of preparing crab is called half backing. Furthermore half backed crabs boil faster or can be quickly steamed instead of boiled. Two common tools for removing crab meat from the shell are a crab cracker and a shrimp fork. Ask your sales representative for pricing and availability.
