“dungenous crab. Those are delicious too but we had to work harder to get the meat out of them. Are blue crabs similar to dungenous crabs?”

A few years back we went on vacation to Vancouver,Victoria, ?those islands out that way, and Seattle. Had my dungenous crab.

The dungenous crab meat was kind of bland and stringy. Blue crab is much more meaty with big lumps of meat and the taste is very sweet. You should take me up on the bet because the blue crab is worth it. However the fresh salmon I found “like a circus in my mouth”.

I took the ferry from Seattle to Victoria one year with a friend. Victoria is a beautiful place, and oh so quaint. Your description of the blue crabs has me convinced that I have to try it someday. Have you ever had Copper River Reds (salmon)? We're not far from the Copper River and have friends with fish wheels. One year we were given so many Copper River Reds I was able to fill half of our chest freezer and then some, and also give them away to friends and family. They are superb!
