The Dungeness crab, Metacarcinus magister, is a species of crab tat inhabits eelgrass beds and water bottoms on the west coast of North America. It typically grows to 20cm (8″) across the carapace and is a popular seafood. It’s common name comes from the port of Dungeness, Washington.
About one-quarter of the crab’s weight is meat.[9] The flesh has what is considered to be a delicate flavour that is slightly sweet. Dungeness crabs can typically be purchased either live or cooked. Larger crabs are valued for the higher meat-to-shell ratio. (source: Wikipedia)
