From Seattle to Shanghai , the succulent, meaty Dungeness is the first choice of crab connoisseurs.
Named after a small fishing village in Washington State , the Dungeness is caught throughout the Pacific Northwest , but the biggest, meatiest "Dungies" come from the deep, cold ocean waters off the Olympic Peninsula, where generations of Quinault fishermen have harvested them.
In the Dungeness fishery only male crabs with a minimum carapace size of 6 ¼ inches can be harvested, which ensures that the population remains at healthy levels. |
