Monday marked the beginning of Dungeness crab season after regulatory delays and a fisherman’s strike. While the strike aimed to get a better price from the fish processing companies that buy a large portion of the crabs, local fishermen are still frustrated with the starting price of $3 per pound across California.
Following a delay first announced in November, the commercial Dungeness crab season is set to open locally next Friday. While the price per pound is still being settled, a crabber said otherwise, they are ready for the season to start.
