We ♥️ BC Crab Confidence Pop-Up
Everything you need to know to bring home BC Dungeness crab with confidence.
Ever looked at a whole Dungeness crab and thought… yeah not sure what to do with that…?
We’ve got you.
The We ♥️ BC Crab Confidence Pop-Up is a free travelling seafood education experience presented by the BC Crab Fishermen’s Association with the generous support of Buy BC.
Hosted by seafood educator and workshop facilitator, Trish Whetstone of OddFish Creative, this pop-up takes the mystery out of buying whole Dungeness crab and replaces it with practical know-how you can actually use.
Through approachable chats, hands-on tips, engaging displays, and take-home resources, you’ll learn how to buy, cook, crack and enjoy one of British Columbia’s most iconic local seafoods.
Never cooked or cracked a whole crab before? Perfect. That’s exactly why we’re here.
We’ll be popping up around the lower mainland and Vancouver Island throughout September and October so come say hi, ask us anything (about crab…), and leave knowing, “Yep. I can totally pull this off!”
