The 2022 Dungeness crab season was the most lucrative in Oregon history. Unusually for recent years, it started on time, yields were high and prices soared, leading to a boon for commercial crabbers and the coastal communities that depend on them. Superabundant captured the action, from sea to table, with a chili crab recipe from Portland’s Sibeiho and a visit to the iconic Garibaldi crab races.

Dungeness crab is the best in my opinion. Sweet, succulent, and downright delicious with a dab of melted butter. Add some cajun boil seasoning with some potatoes, onions, and corn on the cob and I think most of us would be fat and happy!

..."Coastal cash ebbs and flows
The volatility of the Dungeness crab industry means those communities will continue to experience waxing and waning cash flow. For the fisherfolk who source the crab, however, it’s all part of working with the ocean — some have even accepted the seasonal variability as akin to a hunting and gathering life.
“When we do harvest it, you get that level of satisfaction because you’re going to get that to someone over in the Midwest or whatever,” said Ashdown.
“I feel really good about it. It’s the most satisfying job I’ve ever had in my life.”
