We go to a place in the Gulf Islands that are teeming with giant red
rock crab. These are some of the biggest rock crab that I have seen.
Kids we take sailing go wading in waist deep water and catch a dozen
in 1/2 an hour. The red rock crab has a very sturdy shell compared to
the Dungeness and isn't really commercially caught, but they are super
tasty.


I agree. They're usually a lot smaller and with harder shells so they're
more work to eat, but I think they actually taste better than Dungeoness.

I found nice big ones in, um, not telling... and teeming is the word!
