Looks like I am the minority ....... I do not like fish, beef or pork. Only eat chicken or turkey.

 

Now, my husband would have been knocking at @Anonymous032819 door for dinner. He loved any kind of fish, beef, pork, etc.

Wow you pay a lot, I pay between $1.50-$199 a pound where I live. My sister and I have them often, most shops are right on the water.


@JaneMarple   You cracked me up. I read $199 a pound, and thought "wow you pay a lot"  LOL But, yes, I knew what you meant. Woman Wink

Re: I Am Having Dungeness Crab For Dinner

Here in NOLA we eat blue crabs from the Gulf - but you pay by the number of crabs, not by weight.  Crabs are sorted into small, medium and large, with the price per crab varying by size. 

 

While I enjoy the meat from blue crabs, I hate the effort it takes to pick them.  Much rather pick and eat Dungeness crabs.

But, our differences make the world go around!

I never heard of this type of crab, but it looks delicious. When l first saw the title, I thought it was about “dungarees.” Woman LOL

They're found in the Pacific Ocean from Washington state down to Baja California, Mexico.  The crab is very tasty. @handygal2
