Rock and Spider Crab


California fishermen harvest three distinct species of rock crab -- all cousins of the Dungeness. Most of the catch comes from the Santa Barbara region, where rock crab are available yearlong. These members of the Cancer family are noted for the flavorful meat in their legs and claws; unlike Dungeness, there is little meat in the body.

Spider crab, also known as sheep crab, range from Cordell Bank (Marin County) south to Baja California in depths of 20 to 410 feet. They are caught in traps primarily in southern California. These knobby, long-legged crab are an uncommon treat: connoisseurs say the delicate flavor and firm texture of spider crabs' plentiful leg and body meat surpasses that of snow crab. Spider crab are sometimes called California king crab
