Crab‎

Dungeness Crab Cancer Magister: delicious, luscious, palatable, tasty – darn good to eat. Ranging from California’s channel islands to Adak, Alaska, crabs were first harvested by daring sportsmen using homemade pots. It was certainly a brave soul who first decided to capture and eat this well-armored, bottom-dwelling, fierce-looking

Geoduck‎

Geoduck Panopea abrupta: our whole geoduck is live and packaged to protect its flavor and texture. The neck meat has a deliciously mild flavor with the crisp “crunchy” texture of a cucumber. The body has a slightly milder, more subtle flavor. Geoduck is prized at sushi bars because it goes well with other flavors.

Shigoku Oyster Cancercrassostrea Gigas: Meaning ultimate in Japanese. “A small, dense, cornucopia of an oyster (with) a light, clean taste of cucumber and salt, (and) a finish of water chestnut and Jerusalem artichoke. They grow in floating bags, but are attached to stationary lines and floats that rise and fall with the tides, the result being that the oysters get tumbled twice a day, which continuously chips off the oysters’ growing edge and forces them to ‘cup up,’ getting scoop-shaped and pushing against the limits of their shell as they grow”. From Rowan Jacobsen, author of “geography of oysters”.	$0.00
Virginica Crassostrea virginica: introduced to san francisco bay from the east coast in 1869 and to will apa bay, wa in the 1890s. Attractive pear-shaped shell with a somewhat flat top shell and slightly concave bottom shell. The meat color is a beige-cream with a thin slightly black or brown-trimmed mantle. The flavor combines a clean, briny, smooth sweetness with a pronounced mineral finish.	$0.00
