About Dungeness crab
Dungeness crab is a Pacific coast crab sold as a whole animal or as picked meat. Its shell is broad and hard, while the cooked meat is white with reddish edges, moist and flaky, and mildly sweet. Meat yield and the proportion of body, claw, and leg meat vary by size and how the crab is prepared.
It is commonly steamed or boiled and served whole, or cooked meat is picked for use in other foods. Raw crab, cooked crab, and picked or canned meat are different forms; shell and inedible material should not be included when comparing the edible portion.
