Crab is a wonderful treat to bring to the dinner table thanks to its mild flavor and delicate meat. Dungeness crab is an especially enjoyable variety found along the Western coast of the United States. When cooking Dungeness crab it is important that you do so in a fashion that will not compromise the unique flavor of the meat. The best way to cook crab is to boil it but the biggest choice is whether you will use live or flash frozen crab. The level of freshness is obviously better with the live crab but most crabbers flash freeze their catch right after removing it from the water, locking in the taste.
