The Pacific North West Coast is home to the Dungeness crab. This crab is a highly prized as both a sport and commercial shellfish. Inhabiting the eel grass beds and sandy bottoms from San Francisco to as far north as the Aleutian Islands, this crab gets it name from the town of Dungeness, Washington, home of the first commercial fishery. The Dungeness crab can reach sizes in excess of 8 inches, tip to tip across the back , but are more commonly under 7 inches.

When cooked, the crab’s sweet white meat is delicious, hot or cold with melted butter.
