One Cooked Dungeness Crab (1.5 Lb. Avg)

Missing those coastal comforts? Wholey’s has just the solution to satisfy your hunger for the sea. Dungeness crab is known as the undisputed king of the West Coast. These  crabs are sourced in the wild from the chilly Pacific waters off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. They offer a slightly sweeter flavor than snow or king crabs. Oddest of all, they don’t possess much of a salt-water scent, so they may even satisfy the pickiest of eaters. One cooked Dungeness crab weighs approximately 1.5 pounds, so you can set aside seven to eight minutes for steaming per pound after your water reaches a boil. Preparing with a different method? You can easily create a complex and creative seafood fare with crab cakes or a salad.

Dungeness crab season on the West Coast usually starts in December and it only lasts until June or July, depending on location, so there’s a mad dash to enjoy these scrumptious morsels before they’re all gone. Luckily, Wholey’s Market is the one-stop shop for the freshest seafood available. Order one cooked Dungeness crab to share with your special someone for a romantic evening, or stock up on several to celebrate a special occasion. You can feel good about choosing this type of crab, because the Seafood Watch Program rated Dungeness as a sustainable “Best Choice” compared to other crab species.
