At Pike Place Fish Market, the whole Dungeness crab is sold cooked and can be cracked and cleaned to order, emphasizing convenience without sacrificing freshness. The crab is typically simply boiled and chilled, leaving you with intact clusters and legs that showcase the pure, sweet flavor of the meat. Eating it often means grabbing pieces to nibble as you walk the market or taking a cleaned crab home to enjoy as a centerpiece with sauces or light sides. Visitors regularly remark on how easy the staff make it to enjoy Dungeness crab here, from selecting a specimen to walking away with ready-to-eat meat.
