Dungeness Crab

A Delicacy on the West Coast, Dungeness Crab are a perfect meal when travelling to the coast. Add some melted garlic butter and dip the meat in and you are in for a treat. These crustaceans can be found in BC waters from the south tip of Vancouver Island to Haida Gwaii and the North Coast. The commercial crab industry can be hit and miss, from a productive year one season to a dismal year the next. In most recreational and commercial crustacean fisheries, the females are released to spawn out to keep the industry productive.
