The highly anticipated Dungeness crab season kicked off early Sunday morning, with the season starting in all but two zones along the coast. Normally expected to begin in November, the season was delayed this year but finally opened at 12:01 a.m. Despite the delay, fishermen and seafood enthusiasts are excited to start harvesting and enjoying the delicious Dungeness crab.
The opening of the season in most zones comes as a relief for fishermen who rely on this time of year for a significant portion of their income. With the season now officially underway, crabbers are preparing their traps and heading out to sea to bring in their catch.
Seafood lovers can look forward to fresh and high-quality Dungeness crab being available at markets and restaurants in the coming weeks. The scrumptious and sweet meat of Dungeness crab is a favorite among many, making this season a highly anticipated event for those who enjoy seafood.
Overall, despite the delay, the opening of the Dungeness crab season is a positive development for fishermen, consumers, and the seafood industry as a whole.
