FRESH! Jumbo Whole Dungeness Crab

The flavor of the Dungeness was very bland. It was definitely not as sweet & flavorful as the fresh crab we have had in the past. The leg meat was also stuck to the shells, which is not typical.

Seattle birthday girl in Arizona

My mom, who is almost ninety years old and originally from Seattle, just celebrated her birthday, here in Southern Arizona. Purchasing fresh seafood is always a bit of a dubious proposition in the desert. Similar to sushi from a gas station. In any case, my mother has always cherished dungeness crab. When I was a child, my parents used to drop a crab pot in Elliot Bay, and I will never forget the delight on my mother's face when she devoured them. On her birthday, I saw that same happiness on her face as she opened the wonderfully packaged box of jumbo dungeness crab from the Pure Food Fish Market. She couldn't stop raving about how good they were. She didn't bother putting them in a recipe—warm butter was the perfect accompaniment, she said, raving about how tasty they were. A big thank you to Pure Food Fish Market.

Dungeness Crab

This crab is as good as it gets! Having eaten Blue Crabs for years, I tried Dungeness crabs. They work GREAT in all my recipes and they are cheaper. Also, Pure Food customer service is second to none. The orders arrive on time and are still frozen. I recommend Pure Foods to everyone!!!
