Dungeness crab, which is native to northern California thru to Alaska, is a beloved delicacy in San Francisco, considered by locals to be sweeter and more flavorful than other, lesser crabs.
In fact, for some San Franciscans, a Dungeness crab feast is a holiday tradition as sacred as turkey on Thanksgiving Day and glazed ham on Christmas Day in the U.S.
You can order a fresh catch served up fried, sauteed or roasted; or as crab cakes, crab cocktail, crab Louie salad or Cioppino stew.
