Have to say the crab in my area keep me from ever wanting to live anywhere else. I just wish the season was all year long.

Wow! Where do you catch those crabs? I am in Bellingham often. I've never ventured into the water up there, too cold, I'm a wimp.
But dungeness are the best, I will have to do my homework and face the cold.

A Fresh Dungeness Crab is my favorite shell fish in the world--even a head of lobster. That said, there just aren't any of them in Southern California so I have to settle for bugs. If I was more North, I'd be looking for Dungeness.

I went to school in kent, Washington a long time ago. I agree those are the best crabs in the US. I dive the gulf now and the spear fishing is great, but the little blue crabs arn't as good or as big. They are mean though
There is a good chance I will be moving back this year and hope to hook up with some ocean hunters when I get there.

You got my mouth watering!

A crab claw comes of of everyone I find. If it is a blue crab I take the hole crab, it's better than lobster.

We had a nice double season in WA this year... I liked the winter catch the best.

With generous limits (5 per person), we were able to dine on crab during our surface interval, and still bring home plenty for all the diver's families to enjoy at dinner.

We were able to add Perch and Flounder on every outing, too. I still love the Dungies best, but learned not to turn up my nose at the Red Rock crab. Their legs and bodies don't carry as much meat as the Dungies, but the flavor and texture are great.

If you have the chance to catch the large coral crabs in SE Florida, they are pretty good. Best chance is at night. Steamed or boiled.
