Crab Season Begins

This past weekend crab season kicked off, and local fishers headed out to sea to roundup laods of Dungeness crab. This year, however, expectations of a huge crab catch are low. According to buzz-kill state biologists, "the Dungeness population generally fluctuates in a five- to seven-year cycle. After several banner seasons, last year's numbers were down." And this year? The catch is expected to be even smaller. So, anticipate paying a bit more for a hit of some intoxicating crab. But still, we have some crab coming to us from Washington's Puget Sound -- whose crab meant has been available for over three weeks -- so start clarifying your butter, gastronomes. (CBS 5) more ›
