Meet the Oregon State Crustacean—the Dungeness crab. This species is found all along the West Coast of North America. Oregon fishers land a whopping average of 12 million pounds of Dungeness crab per year with a value of $60 million, working within a fisheries system managed by the 3 S’s: Size, S*x, and Season.
These criteria are what makes the harvest sustainable, now and into the future. Seek out this delicious local delicacy while it’s in season. Just ask your chef or grocer what’s local and sustainable today.
