Make the most of Dungeness crab season with Chef Zoé! Native to the West Coast, Dungeness crab meat is both delicately sweet and salty. Known as the king of crabs, they are considered one of the most prized crustaceans. Chef Zoé will teach you how to handle, cook and clean live Dungeness crab, and introduce recipes celebrating this delicacy. You’ll start with crab cakes served with a remoulade sauce, a perfect pairing for the delicate crab meat. Next, a crab, scallop, and shrimp in a rich white wine-infused broth with shallots, garlic, butter, and cream. Plus grilled bread to soak up all the delicious broth!
Dungeness crabs are a must-try for any foodie!
