Dungeness crab is native to San Francisco area waters and imparts a taste like no other. This recipe pays homage to the final days of the local Dungeness season, which lasts from November through March, or early April at the latest. Enjoy them while you can! If you can't get fresh Dungeness, substitute other crabmeat.
