Dungeness Crab is first come first served

Fun fact! This crab is named after the town of Dungeness, Washington, where it’s a prized shellfish. Dungeness crab is one of the most valuable fisheries on the West coast and also the most abundant crab in California. Its meat is tender and juicy with a sweet, mild taste. It’s honestly superb on its own, but you can also kick it up a notch with some lemon, herbs, and butter, or make your own crab cakes at home!

Safe to eat raw?

We recommend eating Dungeness crab cooked and we usually sell them freshly cooked or live. It’s nearly impossible to eat raw crab anyways, given the moisture-dense meat that makes it difficult to separate it from the shell!
