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.

Dungeness is what is common around here. I cannot stand to look at them in the shell. Unfortunately for me, the Chinese market, where I do some shopping at only carries live fish and shellfish in big tanks. You are able to pick whichever one you want.

I do like wild-caught salmon(especially copper river species) and wild Alaskan halibut. But not with any heavy sauces.

milk and Girl Scout cookies ;-)
