Dungeness Crab, Round 2

The Dungeness crab season is in full swing, and we couldn’t be happier. Tonight I made crab cakes, served with the remaining crab bisque that I had prepared for our Christmas dinner. It came on the heels of fresh, cracked crab — all of this thanks to a single haul from a favorite local purveyor Little Fish Company.

As a native Californian who also has lived in lots of other places (Denver, Chicago, Washington D.C., Fort Lauderdale, and Houston — to visit my parents during their brief stint there), I can confirm that the Golden State is a special place for seafood lovers.
