Our local paper advertised ‘fresh Oregon Dungeness crab’ today for $6.97/lb at one of the grocery stores. Sign in meat department said ‘crab is unavailable because of the coastal storm’. Maybe another time. I’m still hoping.
Thanks for the info. QFC has them advertised for $6.99 lb (weather permitting as always). Was thinking of stopping by after an appt I have tomorrow to see if they have any. I won’t bother now that I checked the latest update.
Thank you! If someone has a great technique for extricating the meat from the bodies, please share! I’ve read, I’ve watched videos, I’m using scissors, fondue forks, and chopsticks, and do okay, but still think i could up my game.
Great technique means patience. I learned from my mother. Take apart the smaller pieces and claws and separate that meat from the bodies. Go over carefully a second time (for bits of shell and cartilage) before storing or using. If freezing, be sure to triple seal; the meat dries out quickly. I use a simple nut cracker, nut pick and a fondue fork for implements.
