Dungeness Season 2011: Thanksgiving Crab Dip in Danger as Fisherman Continue to Strike

Dungeness Season 2011: Thanksgiving Crab Dip in Danger as Fisherman Continue to Strike

Brief updates from Fisherman's Wharf today, where the ongoing pricing dispute between crab fisherman and the seafood processors threatens to damage crustacean-based Thanksgiving dishes. One local fish market owner told SFoodie today that an agreement could still be a few days away, meaning the first shipments won't come pouring in to area seafood emporiums until the Monday after Thanksgiving.

If you need a place to direct your crabbiness, apparently you can't blame the local distributors who agreed to the $2.50 per pound price awhile back. It's the big processors that are holding out for a $2 rate and holding up the whole deal. On the bright side, the crabs will just be bigger and fatter when the crabbers start hauling them in.
