WHERE TO BUY LOCAL BC CRAB
Choosing BC-caught Dungeness crab means enjoying a sustainable protein source while also supporting the livelihoods of local harvesters, family-owned businesses, and coastal communities (not to mention it’s also delicious). With Dungeness crab being available year-round, it’s never too late to bring this exceptional seafood into your meal rotation.
You can buy your crab straight from local fish harvesters, from retail stores, or online!
Buying directly from a local harvester or harbour
Some crab harvesters have a vendor’s license which allows them to sell directly to consumers! Harbours may post when seafood is for sale, so it’s important to follow your local wharfs for updates.
Buying from retail stores
There are plenty of retail stores across the province selling live, frozen, and cooked crab, so no matter your preference, you’re likely to find what you’re looking for. Just make sure to call your local fishmonger or retail shop before heading out to confirm they have crab in stock.
Buying online
Did you know that you can buy your favourite seafood online? Some local seafood distributors offer convenient online ordering, allowing you to have fresh BC crab delivered to your door or ready for pick-up at a time that works for you.
