These are actually my favorite type of crab, if you haven't tried them I highly recommend it! They are less costly, have more meat, and I personally think it's much tastier.

Player GayleP, I only guessed but got it right. However, that being said, 99% of the information I learn on this game is very interesting.

I've tried different types of crab from several different regions and suppose I'm biased because I live in Portland, OR, but Dungeness is my favorite, too!

This crab is great in seafood gumbo! More meat and adds just the right flavor!

also an example of evolution at work. fisherman are required to put the females back, but if a male is of a large enough size, he is a keeper. So a males are getting smaller

Policy that was prompted by schoolchildren. I'm so proud when I see the impact small groups can make.

Always learning with this game! I just assumed that a Dungeness crab was named for somewhere in Scotland. It's not.

I could eat the blue king crab all year long..I'm from Maryland where there is never enough larger size. But they have to be steamed and medium seasoned, bring them on and I will do the rest .yum

Annie, I used to get fresh king crab when I worked in Alaska, you should try fresh Dungeness if you get the chance it really is the best.

I've had many types of crab, including king crab while working in Alaska. Dungeness crab is by far the best crab I've had anywhere.
