The Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) [2] makes up one of the most important seafood industries along the west coast of North America. [3] [4] [5] Its typical range extends from Alaska's Aleutian Islands to Point Conception, near Santa Barbara, California. [4]

The Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) makes up one of the most important seafood industries in the range it inhabits along the west coast of North America. It typically grows 20 cm (7.9 in) across and inhabits eelgrass beds and sandy bottoms.

Dungeness crabs are one of the most popular seafood items in the Pacific Northwest (just call them the Kings in the North!). You can identify Dungeness crabs by their purple-hued shells, which can grow up to 10 inches across.

Dungeness crabs are the most important crab species harvested in British Columbia and the second most valuable invertebrate fishery on the west coast of Canada, reported landings exceeded $21 million in 1998. These crabs are exploited by commercial, aboriginal, and recreational fishers coast-wide.

Dungeness crab, Metacarcinus magister, or dungies if you’re on the dock, live in nearshore waters from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska south to Point Conception, north of Santa Barbara, California. Occasionally, they are even found as far south as Magdalena Bay in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Dungeness crab can be a luxurious, festive, and deliciously messy meal. Whether you’re a novice or a pro, you can prepare and enjoy dungeness crab at home. It’s important to cook, clean, and serve crab properly to enjoy its full decadence.
