One holiday tradition that will have to be postponed this year for most is Dungeness crab.
A delay in opening crab season and now a pricing dispute between fishermen and buyers means that crab boats won t be heading out to sea.
According to the California Department of Fish Wildlife, Dungeness crab season is now open but customers may not be seeing them in stores this Christmas and potentially into the new year.
Commercial fisherman Tom Capen in Avila Beach is working on his equipment instead of heading out on the water for the opening of crab season this year.
