Dungeness crab (those large ones in CA?)? I'm familiar with blue crabs. I love crab. I once made a wonderful crab (blue crab backfin) cake. I also purchased soft shell crabs at a farmers' market where I could buy fresh (live) soft shell crabs. Large were about .75 to a buck and jumbo about 1.50. I also made a decent crab soup and omelet.
