Where does everyone go to eat crab? 🦀

During the dungeness season check Annabelle's (downtown in the Gilmore Hotel) for their specials.

While in Ketchikan, we took the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour (highly recommend) and their galley offered King Crab.  It was very good, and reasonably priced.

St. George Lodge “all you can eat” fresh dungie.  The best in SE Alaska.  You can do it as part of a tour or arrange directly with them.

The photos above made me think of our Christmas Eve tradition.  I live in the Seattle area and our traditional Christmas Eve dinner (which we host) is Dungeness crab.  Back in the day we would go to Pike Place Market Christmas Eve morning and buy our crab from Jack's Fish Spot.  The crab would have been cooked that morning in one of their boiling vats.  After getting the crab we would pick up salad ingredients and stop by a bakery for bread and some treats. 

Later, as more grocery stores' seafood departments began to carry Dungeness Crab (and King Crab), we skipped going to the Market, and bought our crab where we grocery shop.  This Christmas, Dungeness Crab was $8.99/lb. (although I saw prices ranging $12.99 to $19.99/ lb.).  Was the crab previous frozen?  Probably, but it was still good.  :  )

 

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year.

I recently check out there website and it looks like you only have a certain amount of time for eating. do you know if this is correct?

50 minutes is the established time that I remember.
