- going for prawns in BC is a bit more work because they like waters
400' deep

We eat well

The coonstripe (dock) shrimp are smaller but tastier (IMHO) than the deep
water spot shrimp and can be had much shallower.
The problem I see is hauling the pots around around. They take up a lot of
room.
Dungeness crab, on the other hand, can be scooped up with a fish net in
shallow waters.

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.

Collapsible crab traps aint' that big. Be sure to get a round one.

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!
