Crab Dinners

Our festival favorite is a full, fresh Dungeness crab, cooked on-site and served with farm-fresh corn on the cob, house made coleslaw, and softened butter. For smaller appetites, we also offer a half-crab option with the same sides.

Come for the crab, stay for the festival!

The Dungeness Crab Festival is proud to offer the freshest crab dinner you'll find anywhere! Our locally caught Dungeness crab are held in live tanks and delivered fresh daily. They are cleaned and cooked on-site in big crab cookers. This is the freshest crab you can find! If you’ve never had truly fresh crab (not from the grocery store or even your favorite restaurant), then you’ve never really tasted fresh Dungeness crab. Each year, we cook approximately 14,000 pounds of Dungeness crab.

Most seafood lovers probably know that Dungeness crab is one of the most delicious species to eat. The unique taste of the crab, with their briny sweetness, provides a flavor profile that reminds diners of the beautiful Pacific coast and its heritage. Most people consider one crab (average size at the festival is two pounds) to be a full serving, and when combined with delicious sides, a big meal!
