    Crab is about as cheap as I've ever seen it right now - so if you like Dungeness crab, go get it.

    I was out crabbing last weekend and we pulled a pot that had only been soaking about 20 minutes. It was so full the doors wouldn't open to let another crab in. It's been years since I've seen crabbing like that. In the last week, I've eaten crab in about every way I could think of - and it was fucking awesome.




    Dungeonous $18/pound here, snow crab a little less. Still way too high. Got like, $32/pound when everything shot up last year. Fk that.

    It has came down but still expensive here. Blue crab not as bad because it’s abundant locally.

    Far as exoskeletons, full moon will turn their shells soft. Blue crab. Can walk the islands or beach and get em and they’re not dead but molting, so to speak. Good stuff.

    I’m not surprised so many of our plasters have experience dealing with crabs.

    Chintriguing. Any reason why?

    Pretty sure it good ocean conditions and a late commercial opener. The commercial crabbers will clean them out pretty quickly I think considering how many pots we in the bay - they were everywhere.

    Dungies are meaty crabs - about 25% meat by weight - so you'll get a half pound of picked meat from a 2 pound crab.

    $15 a pound right now is robbery.

    You like to call Metacarcinus magister "Dungies." That's what you like to do.
    Methinks one Crab Superiority Guy is Praetor.

    Do dungies pair better with sativa or indica?

    Sativa if it's for breakfast or lunch. Indica if it's for dinner or a midnight snack.

    You like to call Metacarcinus magister "Dungies." That's what you like to do.
    To go more in depth on these eco ocean issues, i can whole heartedly recommend the preeminent book on the subject ~ "Waves and Beaches", a thrilling and informative read, and the seminal discussion of the intricacies involved in oceans, waves, estuaries and beach formation. I know, Wow.

    About 1/3 of the book is dedicated to the Latin Names of crustaceans [you are going to memorize those] and such so this will be very helpful in day to day discussions with friends and loved ones as well. Enjoy.
