Dungeness Crab

The Dungeness crab is considered the standard for quality, texture and taste. Dungeness crab is a good source of high-quality protein, it is low in fat and calories, and offers a rich supply of important minerals. The sweet-tasting Dungeness can be found on menus from New York to Shanghai! The Chinese translation for Dungeness is “very valuable crab,” and rightfully so.

Alaskan King Crab

In Alaska there are three commercial king crab species. Red king crabs, Paralithodes camtschaticus, have been the commercial “king” of Alaska’s crabs. It occurs from British Columbia to Japan with Bristol Bay and the Kodiak Archipelago being the centers of its abundance in Alaska. Blue king crabs, P. platypus, live from Southeastern Alaska to Japan with the Pribil of and St. Matthew Islands being their highest abundance areas in Alaska. Golden king crabs, Lithodes aequispinus, are distributed from British Columbia to Japan with the Aleutian Islands their Alaska stronghold of abundance.

Pacific Rockfish (Pacific Snapper)

Marketed widely as the Pacific Snapper, the Pacific Rockfish is the most important year-round source of ground fish on the west coast. These particular species are versatile and affordable, and have fillets that are mild and slightly sweet-tasting. The Pacific Rockfish is the staple seafood for supermarkets and restaurants from Seattle to San Diego.

Lingcod

The lingcod is a favourite among west coast chefs, many of whom prefer it over halibut. Neither being ling nor cod, the lingcod are actually members of the greenling family, which includes sculpins and scorpion fish. In the kitchen, the lingcod is a very versatile fish with a beautiful white and flakey meat. It is the favourite fish to fry in the Pacific Northwest and can be found in the best “fish n’ chip” restaurants.

Pacific Halibut

The Pacific Halibut is the ocean’s largest flatfish. They are well noted for their thick steaks and fillets. They are recognized in the kitchen for their mild taste and their excellent versatility. Pacific halibut can also make a superb “fish ‘n chips” dish, or be simply baked, grilled, broiled or pan-fried which yield excellent results.

Clams

The species that now dominates clam farming in BC is the Manila clam (Tapes philippinarum). Like the Pacific Oyster, Manila clams are not indigenous to the Pacific Northwest but were accidentally introduced.
