Live Dungeness Crab

The Dungeness crab reportedly takes its name from a small fishing village on the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington state. A world standard for premium crab, sweet, flavorful and semi-nutty, Dungeness has been likened to the shellfish version of an artichoke heart. Some compare the crab’s meat to that of a Maine (American) lobster, but more tender.
