Harbor-master's office at Boston Harbor had the biggest dungeness crab I've ever seen, shellacked and preserved, on the wall. Would have been a meal for three good sized appetites easily. He had a sign on it; called it a "King" crab, it wasn't. But it had a span to equal one.
Sure did love the food you could pull out of the sound

In another life, while working in Silicon Valley, my boss to me out "for crab". Some ritzy titsy suburb just south of San Jose. Flocking crab (stuffed) came on a platter, flock me no way could I consume it in one sitting. Have to admit Dungeness is the best crab in the world.

When did Dungeness move from Kent?

Made a new batch tonight. Best I've ever made. Followed the same recipe, but added about 1 head of garlic mashed into a paste to the mix along with about 1/3 cup aioli. The flavor was great, I ate one 10 minutes ago, still have the taste in my mouth and its all I can do to not eat the whole lot of them.

Just wondering besides crab cakes what can pulled crab meat be used to make ?

I know only of a crab meat type salad based in a light mayonnaise style dressing.

I do enjoy dungeness crab but IMHO Khun Gibbion, saying that "dungeness is the best crab in the world" has yet to be determined and probably a little short sighted if the "Maryland Hard Shelled Crab" steamed in beer with rock salt and Old Bay Seasoning has not been tried.

CIAO!

LOL quite true, have had same quite a bit on business travels to Chesapeake Bay area. Shall stand by my rating however.

A great crab cook-off between the two would be a can't miss on my part. Maryland Hard Shells come in a very close second on my palate.

Cheers
