dungeness crab seems to have more meat. I Also love Snowcrab or Alaska King Crab, but can not find it around here for some reason. Maybe they are no longer available in this area. Vancouver BC is where I first had Snow Crab.

in the tail and the claws. In crab..its through out the entire thing.. so there will always be lots ..and add melted butter with lemon added, you have a feast. The Lobster would have to be big for me to want it.. and the entire lobster, not just the tail.

As A kid I remember going to this lobster place that had two whole lobsters for the price of one. That was a feast. Now a days its hard to find a place to sell you a whole lobster, which is why I prefer the crab. At least I get the entire thing!! But... wow..You really need a bib..that stuff flies every where when you crack it open!

I would want them raw with cocktail sause and a little tabasco on the side. Since were making them spicy, throw in a mug of beer, and a basket of sour dough bread. The ten steamed clams can follow!!

Pier 39 is a great place to visit. Lots of great shops (including a shrimp place named after Forrest Gump!).. There are a ton of little shops and of course the main attraction are the Seals and Sea Lions..

There is a certain shop there, that makes these Vanilla Waffle ice cream cones.. and when you walk about the pier, you can just smell them and start craving a Vanilla ice cream cone. They taste better than they smell.. omg.. so good!



That and they have the NFL shop which is a lot of fun!


You can find any team you can think of in nearly any sport.. including Colleges
