Sweet, nutty, and mild in flavor, Dungeness crab is widely considered to be among the tastiest of crab species. The body meat is tender and juicy, whereas the leg meat is a bit firmer and slightly more flavorful. Each cluster offers tender, flaky meat that can be picked and eaten directly from the shell after cooking or can be added to a variety of other dishes such as salads, bisques, dips, crab cakes, pasta dishes and more.
