Title: Dungees vs. Rocks
Post by: 1morebuck on July 02, 2010, 03:40:06 PM: So crabbing is pretty good and we are hauling in red rocks and dungeness with easy limits. I kept a limit of red rocks and my buddy gave me some crap for it. I personally like the red rocks, what do you like? :dunno:

Post by: Hunterman on July 02, 2010, 04:33:28 PM: The "Rock" is a little bit sweeter with most of the meat in the claws :drool: The dungenest are just a great all around eating crab :drool: :drool:

Agree completely. When I was stationed on Whidbey Island we did a lot of crabbing. I LOVED the Redrock. Of course, the Dungeness were great too and certainly gave ya more meat per crab. But nothing beats the sweet Redrock IMO.

Same here... red rock is sweeter

Post by: jackelope on July 05, 2010, 04:33:18 PM: Agreed, I've always kept both species. I also agree that the Red Rocks are sweeter.

I agree, rock crab have more meat in the claws though

Post by: WAcoueshunter on July 12, 2010, 03:37:05 PM: I don't keep the rocks unless they're B&C size. Not much meat, and the super hard shells are a pain to clean. You can eat most of a dungy without using crackers.

Title: Re: Dungees vs. Rocks
Post by: NRA4LIFE on July 12, 2010, 03:48:42 PM: I like both. The rocks are a little sweeter. Dungis definitely easier to clean. My wife and I cleaned 20 dungeness and 5 rocks last week. When we got down to the small knuckles of the reds we cleaned about half of them and then gave up. We had over 10 lbs of crab meat at that point. Huge dungis.

Love Reds Claws! Still love Dungi and King, but Snow Crab (Opilio) is also great.

I can't stand Blueshell on the east coast. Oily bland muck for meat.

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on July 12, 2010, 05:02:59 PM: I like both equally, but I won't keep rock under 6" as they just primarily have the pincer meat. You are more likely to get rocks where I crab, so it's an acquired taste. :chuckle:
Title: Re: Dungees vs. Rocks
Post by: ogpudding on August 01, 2010, 10:18:38 AM: I prefer Dungee over Red, Red shells are just too much work sometimes. Ill eat both, but if I get some good dungees in a pull ill throw back the reds. So far this year I have limited out on Reds everyday, Dungees on the other hand seen probably 4-5 total all year.....Ill see what today's pull brings in.
