Dungeness Crab
This month we are introducing a new product, the Dungeness crab! It is a species of crab found along the west coast of North America. The flavour of the Dungeness Crab can best be described as sweet, mild and slightly nutty. The meat of the legs is slightly firmer and has a lot of flavour. Definitely a must-try!
