Dungeness Crab & Vinaigrette

FLAVOR PROFILE

• Sweet, succulent Dungeness crab, smooth and tangy vinaigrette

WHY WE LOVE IT

• Feast on wild-caught Dungeness crab any time of year with a delicious delivery from SeaBear. Sustainably harvested in the icy waters of the Pacific Northwest during the peak season, the meaty legs, claws and shoulders are expertly cooked and flash-frozen to preserve their sweet flavor and succulent texture. Prep is simple – just thaw the shellfish overnight and serve it with the Crab Captain's Vinaigrette, a savory condiment created especially to pair with Dungeness crab.

Cracking Crab
